What is Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)?
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a type of glomerular disease that affects the kidney's glomeruli, the tiny filtering units. It is characterized by segmental scarring or sclerosis in some of the glomeruli, and only parts of an individual glomerulus are affected. This condition can lead to nephrotic syndrome and progressive kidney damage.
