There is as yet inadeqaute data from randomised controlled trials.
Treatment with [[HAART]] and [[ACE inhibitors]]/[[Angiotensin receptor blockers]] has been shown to be beneficial and should be given to all patients unless otherwise contra-indicated.  General renoprotective measures and the treatment of the complications of nephrotic syndrome and renal failure are adjunctive. 
[[Corticosteroid]] treatment can be useful in patients who do not respond to the above treatment.  There is some evidence that [[cyclophosphamide]] might be helpful in selective cases, however further trials are required on both steroids and [[cyclophosphamide]] before these drugs can become standardised treatmen if at all.
