Measure
One Arm
One arm will receive acthar to measure rate of recurrence of FSGS after transplant. There are no other arms. We do have previous data that FSGS recurs in 23% of kidney transplants. Acthar: patients will receive acthar 80 units twice a week for 6 months and will measure recurrence of FSGS
