Hello and welcome to HCM
I have read your query
I hope this will help
As you are a diagnosed case of FSGS ,your doctor might have told you that FSGS has got a bad prognosis and can recur in even after RENAL TRANSPLANT SURGERY.
Ideally treatment for CKD is RENAL TRANSPLANT. And there is nothing like stem cell therapy or osmotherapy that could help cure the disease..
I will advise you not to waste money on such things you will ultimately end empty handed..
Discuss with A NEPHROLOGIST about your disease and future prognosis. I think it would be better to have an AV-FISTULA when time comes that you need dialysis.
