Фокально-сегментарный гломерулосклероз (ФСГС) представляет собой целую группу заболеваний с различной этиологией, патогенезом и клиническими проявлениями, среди которых основной - протеинурия [43]. ФСГС является первой причиной нефротического синдрома (НС) у взрослых [32] и первой причиной стероид-резистентного НС (СРНС) у детей. В последние десятилетия отмечается рост частоты ФСГС по всему миру. При ФСГС выявляется поражение подоцитов (II) различной этиологии, в связи с чем болезнь стала рассматриваться как «подоцитопатии».
