Variante colapsante de la glomeruloesclerosis focal y segmentaria en niños
ABSTRACT: The collapsing variant of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a renal lesion that may be idiopathic or associated to different factors; it is characterized by glomerular collapse leading to a nephrotic syndrome resistant to corticosteroids, and chronic progressive renal failure.

| Summary: | ABSTRACT: The collapsing variant of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a renal lesion that may be idiopathic or associated to different factors; it is characterized by glomerular collapse leading to a nephrotic syndrome resistant to corticosteroids, and chronic progressive renal failure. This glomerulopathy has been scarcely studied in children; in this age group most cases are idiopathic. We report six cases of this variant of FSGS in HIV negative children. They were resistant to the immunosuppressive management and three of them died. |
