[Angiotensin type 1 receptor blocker reduced proteinuria in patients of focal glomerular sclerosis].

We report three cases of focal glomerular sclerosis (FGS) with proteinuria that improved with the administration of angiotensin type 1 receptor blocker (ARB, losartan or valsartan). These three patients were a 41-year-old male (case 1), a 22-year-old male (case 2) and a 47-year-old male (case 3), who showed proteinuria, renal dysfunction, and hyperlipidemia. In case 1, proteinuria and renal dysfunction were improved by losartan administration and low protein diet therapy.
