  • Title: Idiopathic focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis in Jamaica. A 10-year review.
    Author: Barton EN, Williams W, Shah DJ, Miller M.
    Journal: West Indian Med J; 1995 Sep; 44(3):85-7. PubMed ID: 8560884.
    Abstract:
    Idiopathic focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (IFSGS) in a predominantly black population does not appear to behave any differently than in Caucasian patients. Response to steroid therapy and cyclophosphamide had favourable prognostic significance. There may be a subgroup of IFSGS which responds more slowly to steroids. The duration of steroid therapy should extend beyond four months.
