Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
Definition
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is scar tissue that forms in parts of the kidney called glomeruli. The glomeruli serve as filters, helping rid the body of unnecessary or harmful substances.
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
Sometimes nephrotic syndrome is caused by a serious condition called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). FSGS causes scarring on the parts of the kidneys that filter the blood.
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS): Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a type of glomerular disease (disease that affects the glomeruli) that can cause permanent kidney disease in children and adults.
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Characterized by scattered scarring of some of the glomeruli, this condition may result from another disease or occur for no known reason. Males are slightly more likely to have this disorder than are females.
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
This is a condition where small scars (sclerosis) develop on some glomeruli. The cause is unknown in most cases.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (including the collapsing variant) with or without nephrotic syndrome, which may lead to renal failure, has been reported in Aredia-treated patients, particularly in the setting of multiple myeloma and breast cancer.
If you have focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), it means the scarring is more limited.
Glomerulosclerosis affects both children and adults. Males are affected slightly more often than females, and it occurs more frequently in African Americans.

The most common primary glomerular diseases include membranous nephropathy, IgA nephropathy, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The first sign of a glomerular disease is often proteinuria, which is too much protein in the urine.

Scarring of the glomeruli (seen in the biopsy in about 20 per cent of children) due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, post-infectious glomerulonephritis or other conditions.
The primary diseases include minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous glomerulopathy, proliferative glomerulonephritis and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
