Primary focal segmental glomerulossclerosis and minimal change disease as one spectrum of disease

Minimal Change Disease (MCD) and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) are common causes of nephrotic syndrome. These two conditions are similar in their presentations but differentiated via their histopathological features and responsiveness to corticosteroids. There are ongoing debates whether...
