Multicenter StudyAggressive treatment may be needed for idiopathic membranous nephropathy with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis lesions.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical, pathological, prognostic features and treatment response of the coexistence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis lesions with idiopathic membranous nephropathy. ⋯ Compared with FSGS- group, idiopathic membranous nephropathy with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis lesions represented more severe nephrotic syndrome and worse renal function. In view of the renal function decline during the follow-up, more aggressive treatment with the use of immunosuppressants should be considered for idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis lesions.
