glomerulosclerosis
diabetic glomerulosclerosis intercapillary g.
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis a syndrome of focal sclerosing lesions of the renal glomeruli with proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and nephrosis, with variable progression to end-stage renal disease.
intercapillary glomerulosclerosis a degenerative complication of diabetes, manifested as albuminuria, nephrotic edema, hypertension, renal insufficiency, and retinopathy.
glo·mer·u·lo·scle·ro·sis (gl -m r y -l-skl-r s s)n. Hyaline deposits or scarring within the renal glomeruli, a degenerative process occurring in association with renal arteriosclerosis or diabetes. |

[-sklərō′sis]
Etymology: L, glomerulus, small ball; Gk, sklerosis, a hardening, osis, condition
a severe kidney disease in which glomerular function of blood filtration is lost as fibrous scar tissue replaces the glomeruli. The disease commonly follows an infection or arteriosclerosis.
glomerulosclerosis
progressive hyalinization such that glomeruli become shrunken, eosinophilic and hypocellular masses.
intercapillary glomerulosclerosis
glomerulosclerosis
Nephrology A degenerative lesion of the renal glomeruli caused by ASHD or DM. See Kimmelsteil-Wilson disease.
