My mother was diagnosed with fibrillary glomerulonephritis about 1 year ago. Her doctor told her this is a rare disease. I can find very little info about this disease. I understand that there is really no treatment, but was wondering an approx time frame before she would need to go on dialysis or on a transplant list? Also, due to numerous other health issues, would she even be a candidate for a transplant? She is 70 yrs old and also has copd, diabetes, congestive heart failure & high blood pressure. Thanks for any info you can provide.
Fibrillary GN (f GN) is an are disease and doesn't require ant major treatment. Diabetes and age per se can cause more harm to the kidney rather than f GN.  It all depends on her creatinine and protein now. Can you please update these two values so that we can better ascertain the risk of need of dialysis over next few years
