Histologic variants of primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis: presentation and outcome.
INTRODUCTION The clinical significance of histologic variants of primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) remains unclear. With the aim to determine presentation and outcome of the variants of FSGS in a hispanic population, we studied our cases of this glomerulopathy. METHODS In this retrospective study, all renal biopsies with FSGS (1998-2009), were classified according to the Colum...
متن کاملPrimary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis: clinical course, predictors of renal outcome and treatment.
Primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the representative of refractory nephrotic syndrome in both adults and children. We review the clinical course and predictors of renal outcome in adult FSGS. Patients resistant to treatment frequently develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD), whereas patients achieving a remission show an excellent outcome. The renal survival rate in Japanese p...
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...
متن کاملCollapsing Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
Background and objectives: Treatment with IFN is rarely associated with nephrotic syndrome and renal biopsy findings of minimal-change disease or FSGS. Design, setting, participants, & measurements: We report 11 cases of collapsing FSGS that developed during treatment with IFN and improved after discontinuation of therapy. Results: The cohort consists of seven women and four men with a mean age...
