Abstract
Survival of pediatric kidney transplant recipients with FSGS improved between the 1990s and 2000s and was similar to that of recipients without FSGS. Interestingly, adjustment for allograft failure showed greater survival for pediatric patients with FSGS who underwent transplantation in the 2000s as compared with others, suggesting that effective interventions to decrease allograft loss due to disease recurrence may improve patient survival.
