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 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...
