It means that scar tissue is destroying parts of your kidneys. It might be diabetes that causes the scaring. This has the potential to be very serious. You should ask the doctor how serious your case is and what you should do about it. === Outlook (Prognosis) Over half of all persons with focal or segmental glomerulosclerosis develop chronic kidney failure within 10 years.

What is focal segmental glumeroloscerosis?
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a type of Glomerular Disease, one of many diseases that affect kidney function by attacking the glomeruli, the tiny units within the kidney where blood is cleaned. Glomerulosclerosis (gloh-MAIR-yoo-loh-skleh-ROH-sis) describes the scarring or hardening of the tiny blood vessels within the kidney.
What is Focal Sclerosing Glomerulonephritis?
I understand the term as Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis. This may help in your search. This is a disease of the kidneys of an unknown cause. It is characterised by hyaline deposition in the glomeruli of the kidneys (the bit of the kidney that does all the filtering of the blood). Hyaline is a compound found in the body. If it deposits on the glomerulus, what can happen is that the cells of the immune system bind to it and attack it, trying to clear it from the kidney. A side affect of this is that the immune cells often do even further damage to the glomerulus causing the sclerosis (thickening due to damage). The impairment is generally progressive and is characterised by loss of protein in the urine (proteinuria). This may cause swelling in the body, particularly of the face and around the eyes. The person may also develop hypertension. You would usually be diagnosed with this condition after a renal biopsy. If you've not had a biopsy this is perhaps just a working diagnosis and it might be something else which is causing problems for your kidneys.
