Treatment Options
Your doctor or primary care provider will decide which medications are right for you based on their evaluation of your condition. The information below is provided for reference only. Before starting or stopping any medication, be sure to discuss it, along with all other drug-related information, with your doctor.
The short-term goal of treatment is to stop protein spillage completely, known as remission, or lower the amount of protein spilling as much as possible. The less protein lost, the better the outcome for the patient. Long-term goals include preventing recurring protein in the urine and protecting kidney function from deterioration.

Liposorber
The Liposorber® LA-15 System is a blood processing system used outside of the body. This device removes certain lipoproteins from the blood. It’s used in pediatric and adult patients diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) either before transplant or post-transplant with FSGS recurrence.
Obinutuzumab
Obinutuzumab can help you lower the amount of protein you are spilling into your urine, go into complete remission and allow you to stop taking other medications. Obinutuzumab offers an alternative to current immunosuppressive therapies and other monoclonal antibodies for difficult-to-treat rare, protein spilling kidney diseases.
