Abstract
The concept of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in clinical practice is used to describe both a separate disease and morphological characteristics of secondary kidney damage. Most often, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis occurs as a result of the course of primary glomerulonephritis and is the cause of the development of nephrotic syndrome. A feature of the course of nephrotic syndrome in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is a longer response to steroid therapy, or the formation of dependence/resistance to glucocorticosteroids. Despite the development of scientific progress, the problem of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in primary glomerulonephritis is still relevant. Understanding the mechanisms of podocyte damage and disease progression is important not only for basic research, but also for everyday clinical practice.
