Collapsing glomerulopathy involves podocyte proliferation and basement membrane wrinkling, often resisting treatment. This review covers its diverse causes and suggests new therapeutic strategies for this kidney disease.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Pathology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Collapsing glomerulopathy is characterized by glomerular basement membrane wrinkling and podocyte proliferation.
  • It is a challenging kidney disease, often unresponsive to conventional treatments.
  • Initially linked to idiopathic cases or HIV infection, its etiology is now understood to be diverse.

Observation:

  • The disease presents with specific morphologic and phenotypic features.
  • Podocyte injury and mitogenic stimulation are key pathogenetic mechanisms.
  • Etiologic heterogeneity is a significant characteristic of collapsing glomerulopathy.

Findings:

  • This manuscript reviews the historical background and terminology of collapsing glomerulopathy.
  • It details the morphologic and phenotypic characteristics of the disease.

  • Various suggested pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed.

    • Implications:

    • The etiologic heterogeneity necessitates the development of targeted therapeutic approaches.
    • Understanding the diverse mechanisms is crucial for improving treatment outcomes.
    • This review provides a foundation for future research into novel therapies for collapsing glomerulopathy.
