Svensk definition
Sjukdom i njurarnas filtreringsnystan som kännetecknas av fokal eller segmentell skleros, som vanligtvis börjar i de juxtamedullära glomeruli och gradvis sprider sig till andra delar av njuren, med eventuellt åtföljande njursvikt.

Engelsk definition
A clinicopathological syndrome or diagnostic term for a type of glomerular injury that has multiple causes, primary or secondary. Clinical features include PROTEINURIA, reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE, and EDEMA. Kidney biopsy initially indicates focal segmental glomerular consolidation (hyalinosis) or scarring which can progress to globally sclerotic glomeruli leading to eventual KIDNEY FAILURE.
