Overview

Pathophysiology

There are two types of FSGS, primary FSGS and secondary FSGS, pathophysiology is discussed below:

Pathogenesis of primary FSGS

The pathogenesis of primary or Idiopathic FSGS is not so clear. Many studies had theorized that FSGS occurs as a consequence of effects of circulating immune activating factors on the glomerular epithelium. Indeed, the damaging role of circulating factors like the soluble urokinase plasminogen activating receptor (suPAR) on the glomerular podocytes had been postulated. The underlying pathogenesis of FSGS is fusion or effacement of the foot processes (podocytes) of the glomeruli, with sclerosing of some part of the glomeruli (hence its name as focal segmental). As such, the involvement of the permselective filtration barrier and effacement of podocyte foot processes are inevitable. The four major causes that lead to the reaction of podocyte foot processes. These changes result in apoptosis, detachment from the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), and subsequent podocytopenia:[1][2][3][4]

  • Interference with slit diaphragm and its corresponding lipid raft
  • Interference with actin cytoskeleton
  • Interference with the GBM or with the interaction of the GBM and the podocytes
  • Interference with the negative charge of podocytes

There are various factors, which play important in the pathogenesis of FSGS:

Role of circulating permeability Factor

Circulating factors implicated in the pathogenesis of Primary FSGS include:

  • Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activating Receptor (suPAR) and MicroRNAs.[1]
  • suPAR is a heavily glycosylated protein that can be found in several places.[4][5][6][7]
  • Cardiotrophin-like cytokine factor-1 (CLCF1)

Pathogenesis of secondary FSGS

The pathogenesis of secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) occurs due to the following factors :

Genetics

The development of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is the result of multiple genetic mutations such as:[12][10][13][14][15][16][17][18]

  • Nephrin gene in congenital Finnish-type nephrotic syndrome - NPHS1
  • Nephrin-like transmembrane gene - NEPH1
  • Podocin gene - NPHS2
  • CD2-associated protein (CD2AP)
  • Alpha-actinin-4 gene
  • Transient receptor potential cation channel - TRPC6
  • Mutation in wilms tumor gene - WT1
  • Mutation in SCARB2 (LIMP2) gene
  • Mutation in formin gene - INF2
  • Mitochondrial cytopathies
