A 77-year-old man presented complaining of generalized edema for 1 week. He had hypertension and polycystic kidney disease (PKD), which was diagnosed 45 years ago. Blood and urine tests showed low serum albumin (2.3 g/dL) and severe proteinuria (6.38 g/day). Abdominal computed tomography revealed multiple cysts with thin wall calcification in the left kidney, and several cysts in the right kidn...
متن کاملFocal segmental glomerulosclerosis and end-stage kidney disease in children
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is one of the principal causes of end-stage kidney disease in children worldwide (1-3). During the past decades, different genes mutations have been implicated in pathogenesis of resistant sporadic and hereditary familial forms of FSGS. Nephrin, podocin, alpha-actinin 4 (ACTN4) are some of podocyte structural proteins that their role in pathogenesis of ...
متن کاملFocal segmental glomerulosclerosis associated with mitochondrial disease
Primary mitochondrial diseases (MD) are complex, heterogeneous inherited diseases caused by mutations in either the mitochondrial or nuclear DNA. Glomerular diseases in MD have been reported with tRNA mutation m.3243A>G causing a syndrome of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS). We describe here a case of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) ass...
متن کاملFocal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis.
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a leading cause of kidney disease worldwide. The presumed etiology of primary FSGS is a plasma factor with responsiveness to immunosuppressive therapy and a risk of recurrence after kidney transplant-important disease characteristics. In contrast, adaptive FSGS is associated with excessive nephron workload due to increased body size, reduced nephron ...
متن کاملIdiopathic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
Idiopathic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a primary glomerular disease that essentially represents a form of chronic, progressive renal fibrosis for which there is no discernible cause. Often presenting with or eventually manifesting the nephrotic syndrome, this disease is increasing in incidence in both children and adults. Therapy continues to be a challenge, although some patie...
