Treatment of steroid-resistant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with rituximab: A case report and review of literature.

We report on the case of a 76-year-old male with steroid-resistant FSGS successfully treated with rituximab and remained in remission at the end of six months. A review of the literature highlights the paucity of data on this subject. We conclude that rituximab is a potentially useful treatment for steroid resistant FSGS and larger controlled studies are needed to further define its role in this setting.
