To treat FSGS, patients usually use glucocorticoid. If patients can get remission for long time with this medicine, their prognosis will be relatively good. However, if FSGS relapses and presents Nephrotic Syndrome, patients' prognosis may be bad and their FSGS aggravates into chronic kidney failure easily. When kidney function declines to 15% or less, we call it stage 5 kidney disease.

When FSGS develops into end stage, kidneys will lose nearly all of their ability to filter blood and play their other functions. Then, heart failure, pulmonary edema, high potassium level, metabolic acidosis, heart failure, and some other dangerous complications are more likely to shorten patients' lifespan and life expectancy easily.
