FSGS involves podocyte injury and is diagnosed through renal biopsy. The specific circulating factors causing primary FSGS are still unknown, but several potential molecules have been identified.
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) involves podocyte injury. In patients with nephrotic syndrome, progression to end-stage renal disease often occurs over the course of 5 to 10 years. The diagnosis is based on a renal biopsy. It is presumed that primary FSGS is caused by an unknown plasma factor that might be responsible for the recurrence of FSGS after kidney transplantation. The nature of circulating permeability factors is not explained and particular biological molecules responsible for inducing FSGS are still unknown. Several substances have been proposed as potential circulating factors such as soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and cardiolipin-like-cytokine 1 (CLC-1). Many studies have also attempted to establish which molecules are related to podocyte injury in the pathogenesis of FSGS such as plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), angiotensin II type 1 receptors (AT1R), dystroglycan(DG), microRNAs, metalloproteinases (MMPs), forkheadbox P3 (FOXP3), and poly-ADP-ribose polymerase-1 (PARP1). Some biomarkers have also been studied in the context of kidney tissue damage progression: transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), human neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), malondialdehyde (MDA), and others. This paper describes molecules that could potentially be considered as circulating factors causing primary FSGS.
