What Are The Causes Of FSGS

The causes of FSG are largely unknown. In such cases it is called idiopathic or primary FSGS. But, FSGS does have some known cause.

What are the causes of FSGS?

The main causes of FSGS include two aspects: internal kidney reason and the external kidney reason. When the glomerular epithelial cells are injured due to massive immune complexes deposition. In case of abnormal immune system, people will easily get infections, colds, etc. Then antigens (bacteria, virus) will enter into the body and then combine with antibody, producing immune complex.

The special epitopes in the kidneys can attract the immune complexes, so the immune complexes will flow with blood circulation and deposit in the glomerular capillary loops, which gives rise to segmental hyaline degeneration in the epithelial cells of the glomerulus. As a result, the surface of epithelial cells of the glomerulus is desquamation, and inflammatory mediator continues to invade, leading to the damages of epithelial cells barrier function.

The segmental sclerosis of glomeruli reflects the result of damage reparation of local inflammation. Primary FSGS is often accompanied by the harms of glomrular epithelial cells. The epithelial cells of visceral layer, or you can call it podocyte, plays an important function in the onset of the primary FSGS.

Epithelial cells can produce various kinds of cell factor and growth factor. The increase of synthesis of collagen from epithelial and mesangial cells and also lead to the decrease of degradation, therefore leading to the glomerular sclerosis.

Besides, the high filtration and high perfusion also play an important function in the formation of FSGS.

Other causes

The abnormal length of the ureter that extends into the bladder.

the hereditary forms of FSGS

Reflux nephropathy, in which urine flows back into the kidney.

Secondary to viral infections such as HIV, parvovirus, and hepatitis B.

Glomerulonephritis, which causes the glomeruli to become inflamed.

Heroin or other drug use.

Birth defects of the kidneys.

Maintenance To Help Prevent Kidney Disease


A proper maintenance can help prevent the onset of kidney disorders. You can do this by:

Diet and exercise: Making heart-healthy food choices and exercising regularly to maintain a healthy weight can help prevent the diseases that cause further kidney damage.

Blood Pressure: If you have high blood pressure, make sure that you keep a control blood pressure. High blood pressure can damage your kidneys and can cause chronic kidney failure.

Salt: Choose and prepare foods with less salt and sodium. Aim for less than 1,500 milligrams of sodium each day.

Cholesterol: Too much cholesterol can build up in your blood vessels. This build up can narrow vessels and lead to a blockage, preventing blood from getting to a certain areas of your body. When this occurs in your heart vessels, it is called coronary heart disease and can cause a heart attack.

Diabetes: If you have diabetes, you can keep kidney disease from forming by monitoring your blood sugar levels. You can do this by proper dieting and staying away from sugary foods.

Weight: A proper weight can help prevent other disease from forming such as high blood pressure, and heart disease.

Protein: Eat the right amount of protein. Although it is important to eat enough protein to stay healthy, excess protein makes your kidneys work harder. Eating less protein may help delay progression to kidney failure.

Smoking: Stay away from smoking because smoking can lead to atherosclerosis. Which can reduce blood flow to the kidneys and can increase your blood pressure. So, take steps to quit. Cigarette smoking can make kidney damage worse.

Eating healthy is the key from keeping  your blood vessels from forming blockage and heart disease. If you do these things, you can help keep diseases away from you. If you have been diagnosed with kidney disease, ask your doctor about seeing a dietitian. A dietitian can teach you how to choose foods that are easier on your kidneys.
