Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS): Disease Understanding
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) Overview
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a well-defined histologic pattern of injury characterized by sclerosis, hyalinosis, foam-cell infiltration, vacuolization of podocytes, and podocyte precursor proliferation between glomeruli tuft and Bowman’s capsule. It is “focal” in that only some glomeruli are affected and “segmental” where only a portion of the affected glomerulus is sclerosed. It typically presents with nephrotic syndrome with characterized proteinuria and obliteration or failure of glomerular capillary loops by increased extracellular matrix in glomeruli capillary tufts. However, the capillary injury does not occupy the entire glomerulus.
The clinical features of FSGS are the features of nephrotic syndrome and include peripheral edema, marked proteinuria (with or without a nephrotic range), hypertension, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and progressive loss of renal function. It may be found either in primary or secondary forms.
Primary FSGS sometimes has no identifiable cause or known etiology (idiopathic) and is linked to genetic mutations in podocyte-specific proteins (e.g., membrane and podocyte slit diaphragm proteins), while secondary FSGS may occur in response to previous glomerular injury, glomerular hypertension, hypertrophy, drug toxicity (e.g., pamidronate, Adriamycin), some malignancies or viral infections (e.g., HIV infection), obesity, and reduced renal mass. FSGS is one of the most common causes of primary glomerular disease in children and adults, which may progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with a relatively high risk.
FSGS is further classified as collapsing, tip, cellular, perihilar, and not otherwise specified variants according to the location and character of the sclerotic lesion. Primary or idiopathic FSGS is considered to be related to podocyte injury, and the pathogenesis of podocyte injury has been actively investigated. Several circulating factors affecting the podocyte permeability barrier have been proposed but not proven to cause FSGS. Genetic alterations may also cause FSGS. These genes mainly regulate the slit diaphragm structure, actin cytoskeleton of podocytes, and foot process structure. The mode of inheritance and age of onset is different according to the gene involved.
