Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Detection of one segmentally sclerosed glomerulus (SSG) identifies patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) but rare SSGs may be missed in kidney biopsies. It is unknown whether alterations of unaffected glomeruli in patients with infrequent SSG can be detected by quantitative morphometrics. METHODS: We determined SSG frequency and obtained quantitative morphometrics in glomeruli without a...
