- Primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) requires immunosuppressive therapy and can progress to end-stage renal disease if untreated; diagnosis relies heavily on electron microscopy to differentiate it from other forms of FSGS.
- A study conducted between January and December 2022 in a nephrology department involved analyzing data from patients with glomerular diseases who underwent kidney biopsy, following ethical guidelines.
