In this episode, we explore focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a kidney disorder characterized by scarring in the glomeruli—the tiny filtering units of the kidneys. We discuss its causes, including genetic mutations, infections, and underlying health conditions, as well as common symptoms like proteinuria (excess protein in urine), swelling (edema), and high blood pressure. While FSGS is a chronic condition without a known cure, we examine various treatment options aimed at managing symptoms and slowing disease progression. Join us to gain a deeper understanding of FSGS and learn strategies to maintain kidney health.
Explore how focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a kidney condition marked by scarring in the glomeruli, disproportionately affects Black men and contributes to health disparities. By combining insights from Black Men’s Wellness and targeted kidney health strategies, this discussion highlights ways to promote awareness, early detection, and improved outcomes within the community.
Emerging research suggests that exposure to air pollution may contribute to the development of kidney diseases, including conditions like focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Regularly replacing home air filters can improve indoor air quality, potentially reducing the risk of such health issues.
