Renal Ultrasound
There is no echocardiography associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Findings on an ultrasound diagnostic of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis include:[1]
- In early stage of FSGS, kidneys are either normal or enlarge in size.
- Later stage of FSGS, kidneys are smaller in size due to fibrosis.
- In HIV patients, kidneys are larger in size.
