Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis: molecular genetics and targeted therapies
Recent advances show that human focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a primary podocytopathy caused by podocyte-specific gene mutations including NPHS1, NPHS2, WT-1, LAMB2, CD2AP, TRPC6, ACTN4 and INF2. This review focuses on genes discovered in the investigation of complex FSGS pathomechanisms that may have implications for the current FSGS classification scheme. It also recounts recen...
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...

BACKGROUND Crystalloid podocytopathy with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in plasma cell myeloma (PCM) is rare. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of crystalline deposition in the bone marrow (BM) and various renal cells with only proteinuria as a symptom. As workup for proteinuria, a renal biopsy sample was obtained. EM showed multiple crystalline depositions in renal tubular cells and p...

Doutora em Ciências; professora da FMUSP. Introduction: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the most frequent primary glomerulopathy in Brazil and its incidence is increasing worldwide. Pathogenesis is related to podocyte inju...
متن کاملThe bioactivity of plasma factors in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a devastating form of nephrotic syndrome, often leading to end-stage renal failure after the failure of a succession of highly toxic therapies. It has long been thought to be caused by a circulating factor(s) that may be produced by cells of the immune system. Much research has focused on identifying such factor(s), including the development of a pro...
