FSGS is a lesion, not a disease. The separation into primary FSGS (a result of immunologic-mediated injury) versus secondary FSGS (related to a variety of causes) is often difficult. Even when this particular issue is carefully evaluated, the therapeutic implications are not always apparent. Newer literature on both biomarker discovery and on the genetic basis of FSGS is reviewed in this context. In addition, the thorny implications of obesity as it relates to the FSGS lesion are discussed. An overall practical algorithmic approach to the management and treatment of the FSGS lesion that integrates these controversial overlap areas is suggested.
FSGS 是一种病变,而不是一种疾病。原发性 FSGS(由免疫介导损伤引起)与继发性 FSGS(与多种原因相关)的区分通常较为困难。即使仔细评估了这个特定问题,治疗的意义也并不总是很明显。本文在这一背景下回顾了有关 FSGS 的生物标志物发现和遗传基础的最新文献。此外,还讨论了肥胖与 FSGS 病变之间的复杂关系。本文提出了一种整体实用的算法方法,用于管理和治疗 FSGS 病变,该方法整合了这些有争议的重叠领域。
