Kidneys are the main organs to keep balance of electrolyte. When kidneys are damaged, the electrolyte balance will be broken. Potassium is one of the important electrolyte in our body. The potassium cannot be discharged due to kidney problems. So there is high potassium level in blood.

Once the damaged glomerulus is saved, FSGS will get better. For how this externally used therapy functions, you can contact the online doctors!
