Default Focal Glomerosclerosis

Hi
Has anyone heard of Focal Glomerosclerosis? Where on the web my family can get info on this.

My nephew was dx today. He's had severe swelling in his legs for several weeks. He was told, a couple weeks ago, he had hypertension (he's 23) and his kidneys were failing.

He had his kidneys biopsied on Friday and today they told him this is what it is. He is on prednisone and sees a speciallist on Thursday.

He is in alot of pain and cannot work due to the swelling and pain. He lives in a small town in Iowa and I'm worried he won't get the best care there.

Any info is welcome. Thanks for reading. I will check back later.


Beth
