F.S.G.S short for Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
UNCKidney explains the disease's name:
- Focal: FSGS affects only some of the glomeruli in the kidney
- Segmental: only a section of the glomerulus is affected
- Glomerulo: the disease affects the glomeruli
- Sclerosis: sclerosis is scarring
Hope this clarifies things!!!
