Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the most common glomerulopathy leading to end-stage renal disease in children and transplantation is complicated by recurrent disease in a significant percentage of children. Treatment of recurrent FSGS has included high-dose steroids, high-dose cyclosporine (CSA), plasmapheresis, and ACE inhibitors with mixed results. We have had a consistent approach using oral cyclophosphamide (CTX) to treat recurrent FSGS since 1982. Three patients with ESRD secondary to nephrotic syndrome had recurrent disease. Biopsies in all 3 were consistent with recurrent FSGS. Patients were begun on a 8-12 week course of 1-2 mg/kg/day of CTX and dosage was adjusted for WBC count. Azathioprine was with held during CTX. Patients' dosage at the end of 12 weeks ranged from 0.89-1.75 mg/kg/day. All patients tolerated CTX well. After 8-12 weeks of treatment, 2 patients with nephrotic syndrome normalized their serum albumin and had negative to trace protein on urinary dipstick. One patient with proteinuria decreased his protein excretion from 770 to 340 mg/m2/day. At follow-up at 8, 38, and 125 months post-transplant, these 3 patients have stable graft function and negative to trace protein on urinalysis. The patient followed for 125 months has had 2 additional relapses at 51 and 82 months post-transplant that were treated successfully with pulse intravenous steroids. Three pediatric patients with recurrent focal segmental glomerulosclerosis post-renal transplant were treated with oral CTX and had significant improvement in proteinuria and preservation of graft function. This suggests that oral CTX is a potentially effective and well-tolerated treatment for recurrent FSGS in children. |
