Nephcure Kidney International has some great material on Nephrotic Syndrome and the various diseases that lead to it. Nephrotic Syndrome is a little hard to describe but as NKI has it stated, it is an umbrella term for any number of conditions brought on by glomerular diseases, especially those that lead to protein and blood being leaked into your urine. Focal Segmentation Glomerulosclerosis(FSGS) is one such disease, with another being IgA Nephropathy. There are other diseases that will lead you down the same path, so check out the Nephcure site at https://nephcure.org/livingwithkidneydisease/understanding-glomerular-disease/ to learn more.

This is a great intro video to Nephrotic Syndrome and the real life impact it has on patients and caregivers.
