Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a glomerulopathy associated with nephrotic syndrome and podocyte injury. FSGS occurs both in children and adults and it is considered the main idiopathic nephrotic syndrome nowadays. It is extremely difficult to establish a morphological diagnosis, since some biopsies lack a considerable quantifiable number of sclerotic glomeruli, given their focal aspect and the fact that FSGS occurs in less than half of the glomeruli. Therefore, many biological molecules have been evaluated as potential markers that would enhance the diagnosis of FSGS. Some of these molecules and receptors are associated with the pathogenesis of FSGS and have potential use in diagnosis.

This study was carried out in the nephrology unit to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi during the period 2003-2005. Renal biopsy was done in one hundred adult patients with Nephrotic syndrome to evaluate the histopathological pattern. Mesangioproliferative GN was the commonest underlying cause which is found in 36 (40%) cases. MPGN is followed by minimal change disease in 22 (24.44%), membranous GN 16 (17.77%), membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis 12 (13.33%), Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 3 (3.34%) and IgA nephropathy 1 (1.12%) cases. This is concordant with other studies. doi: 10.3329/taj.v20i2.3076 TAJ 2007; 20(2): 140-143
