Inclusion Criteria:

1. 2-21 years old

2. Biopsy proven FSGS or minimal change with steroid resistance

3. Presence of FSPF (defined as permeability activity >0.5)

4. Presence of nephrotic range proteinuria (urine protein: creatinine ratio >2) at the
time of enrollment.

5. Persistent nephrotic range proteinuria despite being on stable immunosuppressive
medications (cyclosporine, tacrolimus or mycophenolate mofetil) for at least 12 weeks
and/or persistent nephrotic range proteinuria despite being on stable dose of
angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)
for 12 weeks.

mg/dl over baseline in the prior 3 months).
