FSGS
got a family member with that. and, no one can say how he got it. not the nephrologists, not the competition. my suspicion is that the heavy and diverse bunch of meds he takes was just too much for the kidney. i've never had a medical professional take the bait on that. one thing is clear - it is not going to go away. permanent. on dialysis for 17 years, so far.

I was not given the reason of the cause of FSGS. I read online that few people got it from Covid vaccine. What do you think? My son was not on any meds prior to this.
I wish I knew what caused it. He is on RITUXIMAB right now. Just waiting to see if there’s any slight improvement. He was never sick with anything. I still want answers. He sees two nephrologists.
