Treatment of Fibrillary and Immunotactoid Glomerulopathies
Although evidence of effectiveness is lacking, consider angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors orangiotensin IIreceptor blockers (ARBs), corticosteroids and/or other immunosuppressants Evidence to support specific treatments is lacking although ACE inhibitors and ARBs may be used to reduce proteinuria. Immunosuppressants have been used based on anecdotal evidence but are not a mainstay of therapy; success may be greater with corticosteroids when serum complement is decreased. The disorder may recur after transplantation.
