The objective of our study was to assess our practice in this lesion. <strong>Patients and Methods:</strong> We carried out a retrospective study of patients treated for primary FSGS the period January 1, 2010 to September 30, 2018. The clinical pathological, therapeutic and evolutive characteristics were studied. <strong>Results:</strong> Fifty-eight patients were included in the study. The average age was 30.74 ± 11.35 years and the sex ratio (M/F) was 2.41. Edema was found in 86.2% and hypertension in 37.9%. The average creatinine was 20.17 ± 16.06 mg/l and the average GFR according to MDRD was 82.43 ± 69.06 ml/min/1.73 m2. The average albumin level was 15.11 ± 5.78 g/l and the 24-hour proteinuria was 7.8 ± 3.79 g/24 h. Nephrotic syndrome was the main indication for renal biopsy in 84.48% and the classic form of FSGS was found in 90.9%. The average initial corticosteroid dose was 62.68 ± 10.04 mg/d and the average duration of regression was 11.78 ± 7.40 months. Forty-five patients (77.6%) were corticosensitive (27.6% complete remission and 50% partial remission). Corticosteroid resistance was observed in 19% and corticosteroid dependence in 11.1%. The proportion of relapse was 33.3% within an average of 15.4 ± 9.1 months. Cyclosporine was no longer prescribed as a second-line treatment in 8 patients. Infectious complications were more found in 19%. Two patients had progressed to ESRD and we noted 2 death cases. The male gender was correlated with the occurrence of a relapse. However, the impact of certain factors such as hypertension, proteinuria, hematuria and GFR level has not been demonstrated. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The evolution of primary FSGS is unpredictable, often marked by relapses, hence the interest in identifying factors associated with therapeutic responses for better management.展开更多
