Abstract

Abstract: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a pattern of kidney damage that can occur in individuals at any age, including children. Pediatric patients with FSGS require medication monitoring, growth, and psychological health. This article discusses the NP's role in the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and treatment of FSGS in pediatric patients.
