glomerulosclerosis increasing?
Effect of various histological changes on graft function at 1 month Histological changes if Number of Effect on graft function cortical biopsy patients (out of 84) Normal histology 48 (58%) No effect
Glomerulosclerosis 21 (25%) No effect Interstitial fibrosis 11 (13%) Delayed graft function: 4 Acute tubular necrosis 4 (5%) Acute rejection: 2 Delayed graft function: 2 Focal tubal atrophy 4 (5%) No effect Table 2.
The progression of kidney disease is characterized by segmental and global
glomerulosclerosis, tubular atrophy, and interstitial fibrosis.
Conclusion: Focal segmental
glomerulosclerosis was leading cause of primary glomerular diseases.

Glomerular lesions were divided into: membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, membranous glomerulonephritis, proliferative glomerulonephritis and
glomerulosclerosis.
Merritt suffers from a rare kidney disorder called collapsing focal segmental
