MedGen UID:
885369
•Concept ID:
C4054943
•
Disease or Syndrome

Definition

A variant of FSGS characterized by scarring of the glomerulus adjacent to the origin of the proximal convoluted tubule; this occurs in the absence of collapsing and perihilar FSGS. (D''Agati VD, et al. ""Pathologic Classification of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis: A Working Proposal."" Am J Kidney Dis 43.2 (2004): 368-82.) [from NCI]
