Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis [PDF]

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2017
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.

Adult-Onset Genetic Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis: A Tale of Two Mutations

Revista Portuguesa de Nefrologia e Hipertensão, 2023
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a kidney histologic lesion that may be caused by multiple aetiologies and pathophysiological mechanisms, with podocyte injury and depletion as the common denominator.

Unwinding focal segmental glomerulosclerosis [PDF]

F1000Research, 2017
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) represents the most common primary glomerular disease responsible for the development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States (US). The disease progresses from podocyte injury to chronic kidney disease (CKD), ultimately leading to total nephron degeneration.

Loss of phosphatidylserine flippase β-subunit Tmem30a in podocytes leads to albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2021
The asymmetric distribution of phosphatidylserine (PS) in the cytoplasmic leaflet of eukaryotic cell plasma membranes is regulated by a group of P4-ATPases (named PS flippases) and the β-subunit TMEM30A.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in which urinary protein improved after surgical treatment for acromegaly: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2019
Background Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is characterized by partial (segmental) sclerotic lesions in some glomeruli (focal). Primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is generally considered resistant to steroid therapy.
