Will Pregnancy Affect FSGS?_IGA Cure

Focal Segmental Glomerulous Sclerosis (FSGS) is a rare disease that attacks the kidney’s filtering system causing serious scarring. Sclerosis means “Scarring.” There are millions of tiny, microscopic filters in the kidneys called “glomeruli.” They are filters much like a sieve you might find in your kitchen, and they filter the blood, taking out the water-like part that becomes urine and leaving the protein in the blood. If the glomeruli become scarred, then they stop doing a good job filtering the blood and protein starts leaking into the urine instead of staying in the blood. The word “focal” is added because in FSGS, only some of the glomeruli filters become scarred. “Segmental” means that only some sections of the glomerulus becomes scarred, just parts of them. http://ift.tt/1ESJwMX
