A clinicopathologic study of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis: comparison between nephrotic and non-nephrotic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
Seven out of 16 patients with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FGS) did not showed the nephrotic syndrome throughout their clinical courses, and then patients with FGS could be divided into the two groups, nephrotic FGS group (NS-G) and non-nephrotic one (NO-G). The clinicopathologic findings of NS-G and NO-G were compared retrospectively to define the pathogenesis of the glomerular ...
متن کاملPermeability factors in nephrotic syndrome and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
Circulating permeability factors have been identified in the plasma of patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Post-transplant recurrence of proteinuria, improvement of proteinuria after treatment with plasmapheresis, and induction of proteinuria in experimental animals by plasma fractions each provide evidence for such plasma factors. Advanced proteomic methods have identified...
متن کاملChronic Renal Failure, Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, Nephrotic Syndrome
The collapsing variant of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a renal injury that may be idiopathic or associated with various factors; it is characterized by glomerular collapse, which leads to steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (NS) and progressive chronic renal failure. FSGS has not been well studied in children, in which most of the cases are idiopathic. We report six cases of th...
متن کاملPrevalence and outcome of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in Iranian children with nephrotic syndrome.
INTRODUCTION Some evidence suggest an increase in the prevalence of focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) in children. To date, there has been no study of the outcome in children with FSGS and its frequency over several decades in Iran. We aimed to report the changing trend of FSGS incidence and its outcome in a sample of Iranian children. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 1982 and 2008, al...
متن کاملKartagener syndrome with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
Primary ciliary dyskinesia is characterized by congenital impairment of mucociliary clearance. Kartagener syndrome (KS) is a clinical variant of primary ciliary dyskinesia which is involved in situs inversus associated with chronic respiratory infections. In addition, glomerular disease in KS syndrome is rare and reported cases are limited. We had a 27-year-old female patient with KS who presen...
