Hi squeekey: While Google Researchers are not medical experts and do not dispense medical advice, it is fairly apparent to me that glomerulosclerosis *is* considered a "kidney disease". Some very reliable sources that verify this are: National Kidney Foundation (US) - Focal Glomerulosclerosis URL: http://www.kidney.org/atoz/atozItem.cfm?id=63 Quote: "Focal glomerulosclerosis is a common form of kidney disease that may cause permanent kidney failure in children and adults." National Kidney Foundation (UK) - Focal and segmental Glomerulosclerosis URL: http://www.kidney.org.uk/Medical-Info/kidney-disease/fsgs.html Quote: "This is a type of kidney disease, also called 'focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis' or just 'focal sclerosis'." ClinicalTrials.gov URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00001959 Quote: Pirfenidone to Treat Kidney Disease (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) Duke Center for Human Genetics URL: http://www.chg.duke.edu/patients/fsgs.html Quote: "Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a form of kidney disease that causes inflammation of the "filters", or glomeruli, of the kidneys." Search Strategy (on Google): * Glomerulosclerosis * Glomerulosclerosis "kidney disease" * Glomerulosclerosis "kidney disease" site:.gov I hope the information in these pages and others that can be found with the above searches helps you. websearcher |
