Wanted to ask if anyone was initially diagnosed with MCD and later progressed to FSGS. I was diagnosed with MCD a year ago. I swelled up and had foamy urine when I first went to the ER and after biopsy I was diagnosed with MCD. Between then and now, I suffered a seizure, suffered intestinal inflammation that led to not eating or drinking much for days which resulted in AKI.
My eGFR went from 111 to 25 after suffering AKI and only recovered to 73 after finally getting on Rituximab/Prednisone and bringing proteinuria down to near normal levels. I wonder if my MCD has progressed to FSGS since my kidneys suffered damage like scarring due to AKI. My nephrologist doesn't think a second biopsy is needed at this time and wants to keep monitoring me. Doing labs every 2 months. I still see a bit of bubbles in my urine at random.
