Has anyone had experience with Rituximab infusions for kidney disease?
Rituximab has been explored as a treatment option for certain kidney conditions, such as C3 glomerulopathy (C3G). However, it's worth knowing that it is not FDA-approved for these kidney diseases, and research results have been mixed.
Some key points to keep in mind:
- It is sometimes tried when other treatments haven't worked
- Your doctor would weigh the potential benefits against the risks before recommending it
- Results can vary from person to person
It's always best to have an open conversation with your kidney specialist about whether Rituximab might be appropriate for your specific situation, and what alternatives may be available.
