    Nine patients with focal glomerular sclerosis showed proteinuria, hematuria, and hypertension. Renal biopsies revealed glomerular sclerosis and intraluminal deposits, unresponsive to standard therapies, highlighting this kidney disease entity.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Pathology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Focal glomerular sclerosis is a significant kidney disease.
    • Understanding its clinical and morphologic features is crucial for diagnosis and management.
    • Recent appreciation of this clinicopathologic entity necessitates further study.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical and morphologic characteristics of focal glomerular sclerosis in a cohort of nine patients.
    • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic unresponsiveness associated with this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Renal biopsy was performed on nine patients.
    • Clinical data including proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and renal insufficiency were collected.
    • Morphologic findings from renal biopsies were analyzed, including glomerular sclerosis, intraluminal deposits, foam cells, and interstitial changes.

    Main Results:

    • All nine patients were diagnosed with focal glomerular sclerosis via renal biopsy.
    • Consistent clinical findings included proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and progressive renal insufficiency.
    • Morphologic findings revealed focal, segmental, and global glomerular sclerosis with specific pathological features.
    • The condition was unresponsive to corticosteroid and immunosuppressive therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Focal glomerular sclerosis presents with distinct clinical and pathological features.
    • This entity is characterized by resistance to conventional immunosuppressive treatments.
    • Recognizing focal glomerular sclerosis is important for understanding the spectrum of renal diseases.
