glomerulosclerosis

About 15 percent of people with proteinuria turn out to have glomerulosclerosis.

One kind of glomerulosclerosis frequently encountered is caused by diabetes.

The best treatment for glomerulosclerosis depends upon what caused the scarring.

Many patients with glomerulosclerosis gradually get worse until their kidneys fail completely.

A kidney biopsy determined that she had a disease called focal glomerulosclerosis.

But glomerulosclerosis is just one of many possible causes of proteinuria.

Mourning missed all but the last 13 games of the 2000-1 season because he had focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

Mourning was found to have focal glomerulosclerosis, a kidney disease, during a routine medical examination three years ago.

Mourning's kidney disorder, focal glomerulosclerosis, was the most numbing and serious development of all.

The disease that caused his kidney disorder (focal glomerulosclerosis) has a 30 percent chance of recurring.

In due course, glomerular injury gives rise to scarring (glomerulosclerosis).

He suffered from focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, an autoimmune kidney disease.

Treatments for glomerulosclerosis depend on what caused the scarring of the glomeruli.

Mourning, 33, has a degenerative kidney disease, focal glomerulosclerosis, and his doctor says he will need a transplant.

However other causes such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis frequently lead to end stage renal disease.

It can be associated with Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

Mourning learned that he had focal glomerulosclerosis after returning from the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.

Immunosuppressants - drugs that block the body's immune system - stop proteinuria in about half of the patients with glomerulosclerosis.

It is characterized by nephrotic syndrome and diffuse glomerulosclerosis.

A form of focal glomerulosclerosis, which attacks the tiny filters in the kidney that remove waste from the blood, was diagnosed last October.

Both children and adults can develop glomerulosclerosis and it can result from different types of kidney conditions.

Diabetic glomerulosclerosis is a thickening of the basement membrane, which can become up to 4-5 times thicker than normal.

Focal glomerulosclerosis is a relatively rare disease and attacks the tiny filters in the kidney that remove waste from the blood, doctors say.

Mourning, 6 feet 9 and 250 pounds, has focal glomerulosclerosis, which diminishes the kidneys' ability to filter waste from the blood.

But in October 2000, Mourning was diagnosed with a kidney disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
