MeSH Heading: Glomerulosclerosis, Focal Segmental
Tree Number(s): C12.050.351.968.419.570.363.640; C12.200.777.419.570.363.660; C12.950.419.570.363.640
Unique ID: D005923
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005923
Scope Note: A clinicopathological syndrome or diagnostic term for a type of glomerular injury that has multiple causes, primary or secondary. Clinical features include PROTEINURIA, reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE, and EDEMA. Kidney biopsy initially indicates focal segmental glomerular consolidation (hyalinosis) or scarring which can progress to globally sclerotic glomeruli leading to eventual KIDNEY FAILURE.
Entry Term(s): Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis; Glomerulonephritis, Focal Sclerosing; Glomerulosclerosis, Focal; Hyalinosis, Segmental; Hyalinosis, Segmental Glomerular; Segmental Glomerular Hyalinosis
