Abstract
|
|
|
|
An 18-year-old man presented as marked proteinuria on urinalysis. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography indicated the presense of horseshoe kidney without any other abnormalities. A percutaneous computed tomography (CT) guided renal biopsy was done. Of 6 glomeruli obtained, global sclerosis was found in 2. Some segments of affected glomerulus showed peripheral solidifications and focal hyalinosis, which are Periodic acid-Schiff and Masson Trichrome stain positive. The diagnosis of horseshoe kidney with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) was made by clinical and pathological findings. The authors report here a case of FSGS occurring in horseshoe kidney which has not yet been reported in Korea.
