Hildebrandt   Kaskel

The Genetics of FSGS.    Friederich Hildebrandt MD, and Frederick J. Kaskel, MD, PhD. (ASN Renal Week Clinical Nephrology Conference, November, 2007.) Hildebrandt: What are the most common point mutations that cause FSGS and childhood nephrotic syndrome. How and when do they present? To what extent do they respond to treatment? Are any of them steroid responsive? Are they associated with recurrence post-transplantation? Where can one turn for gene analysis when an inherited mutation is suspected in a child with nephrotic syndrome? What are the characteristics of PLCE1 mutations (phospholipase C epsilon), and what should the approach to therapy of these patients be? Kaskel: What are predictors of outcome in FSGS? What are the general treatment approaches? How should steroids be used? Does cyclophosphamide or chlorambucil have a role? What do randomized trials show in terms of cyclosporine? What is the experience with MMF? With rapamycin? Pulse dexamethasone? What is the design of the ongoing NIH/NIDDK Study and when will we have results? When is plamapheresis indicated? What do preliminary results with rituximab show?
