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.

My son is 5 years old and has Focail glomeruosclerosis. He has had problems with his kidneys sense the age of 3. We just found out the he has this problem. We live in Minnesota and we have a wonderful kidney doctor. I hope that everything turns out alright for him.
