    Abstract Background: Glomerulosclerosis represents the final stage of glomerular injury during the course of kidney disease and can result from a primary disturbance in disorders like focal segmental glomerulosclerosis or a secondary response to tubulointerstitial disease. Overall, primary focal glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), the focus of this review, accounts for 10-20% of patients of all ages who progress to end stage kidney disease. There are no FDA approved therapeutic options that effectively prevent or delay the onset of kidney failure.
    Areas covered: Current immunosuppressive therapy and conservative management including inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis and sodium-glucose cotransporter are reviewed. FSGS is now recognized to represent a heterogeneous entity with multiple underlying disease mechanisms. Therefore, novel approaches targeting the podocyte cytoskeleton, immunological, inflammatory, hemodynamic and metabolic pathways are highlighted.
    Expert opinion: A number of factors are driving the development of drugs to treat focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in particular and glomerulosclerosis in general including growing awareness of the burden of chronic kidney disease, improved scientific understanding of the mechanism of injury, and the development of noninvasive profiles to identify subgroups of patients with discrete mechanisms of glomerular injury.

    Abstract There is a note of caution expressed when clinical care providers enroll their own patients into investigational trials, a concern expressed in the called dual-role consent. There is concern that this circumstance may create a conflict of interest for the physician-investigator, lead to loss of patient voluntarism, and promote the therapeutic misconceptions. In this opinion paper, I review the circumstances surrounding participation in clinical research and the conduct of standard patient care. I propose that when a patient is eligible for an institutional review board-approved clinical trial, instead of representing a potential ethical lapse, soliciting enrollment by the clinician-researcher may represent optimal care for the patient.

    Abstract Introduction: IgA nephropathy is one of the most common forms of glomerular disease. Patients with persistent proteinuria are at increased risk of progression to kidney failure. There is a significant need for safe and effective therapies to lower proteinuria in these patients. Sparsentan is a non-immunosuppressive agent that acts as a dual angiotensin and endothelin receptor antagonist. It lowers proteinuria in experimental models of glomerular disease and in affected patients.
    Areas covered: This review covers the immunological and non-immunological actions of sparsentan in glomerular disease. It reviews the clinical trials that evaluated the impact of the drug in pediatric and adult patients with IgA nephropathy. It places the use of sparsentan in an overall treatment paradigm for the full spectrum of patients with IgA nephropathy including nonspecific renoprotective agents such as inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis and SGLT2 transporter and immunosuppressive drugs. The review represents a search of the current literature about the effect of the drug on normal physiology and the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy.
    Expert opinion: The safety, tolerability, and therapeutic efficacy of sparsentan have been demonstrated in long-term studies of patients with primary glomerular diseases extending over 5 years. The evidence in support of a beneficial treatment effect of sparsentan is stronger in IgAN than in FSGS. It is anticipated that sparsentan will supplant the use of ACEI or ARB as the first-line therapy to reduce proteinuria prior to the implementation of immunosuppressive agents in patients with IgA nephropathy. It may be combined with other renoprotective drugs like SGLT2 inhibitors. Practice guidelines are needed to promote safe and effective use of this new drug by nephrologists caring for patients with IgAN in all clinical settings.

    Abstract A substantial number of patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) have a pathogenic genetic mutation in a podocyte protein as the cause of their disease. The mutations can affect a wide range of cell functions including the actin cytoskeleton, cell adhesion and motility, mitochondrial function, and nuclear pore proteins. The likelihood of a genetic cause declines with age, from approximately 30% in children and adolescents to 10% in adulthood, and the specific proteins involved and the pattern of inheritance differ in the 2 age groups. The presence of a genetic cause for FSGS can have important clinical ramifications including the need for a diagnostic kidney biopsy, medical management, and the risk of recurrent disease after kidney transplantation. This review summarizes the spectrum of genetic causes of nephrotic syndrome, primarily FSGS, in adults with a focus on diagnosis, presentation, and management.
