·HealthyMag Editorial Team

(MedPage Today) — Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a kidney disease that gets worse over time. It affects about 4% of people worldwide. The condition happens when scar tissue forms on the glomeruli, the tiny filters inside the kidneys. This scarring causes protein to leak into the urine, a condition called proteinuria. In serious cases, it can lead to end-stage kidney disease.
