  • Title: Consideration of vaccination against the FSGS factor.
    Author: Altschuler EL.
    Journal: Med Hypotheses; 2001 Dec; 57(6):703-4. PubMed ID: 11918430.
    Abstract:
    Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a common cause of nephrotic disease in adults, and it is thought to be increasing in incidence. FSGS is often difficult to treat and even has a high propensity to relapse after transplant. Indeed, this suggests that there might be some circulating factor responsible for proteinuria ('FSGS factor'). Here I suggest that if and when the FSGS factor is found, vaccination against this factor might be a useful treatment modality for FSGS.
