FSGS symptoms,otherwise known as Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, can be
recognized by lay persons who are alert and aware of the possible signs. Since
FSGS is often a gradual loss of ability to remove fluids and wastes over years,
it can be a great help to spot the symptoms early. Getting treatment can slow
total renal failure, and further get you on the list for organ transplants
earlier.
Structions
1.Get a yearly physical done with blood work.
If your physician does a thorough job of analyzing you during a physical,
initial stages of FSGS can show up in blood work. It will not be conclusive, but
will lead to other tests which will confirm or disconfirm the diagnosis.
2.Watch for signs of anemia.
Fatigue, paleness of skin color, shortness of breath in exercise, or other
signs of anemia may be FSGS. Symptoms such as these could be related to other
conditions, but should be tested to discover the cause.FSGS leaves waste in the
blood and makes the production of red blood cells more difficult, thereby
reducing oxygen carrying capability.
3.Watch for changes in urine.
If your urine becomes frothier than normal, darkens considerably, or becomes
considerably lighter than normal it may be a sign of a problem with your
kidneys. A more troubling symptom is the urge to urinate without an ability to
do so.
4.Take note of swelling.
Since the FSGS is an inability to remove fluids from the body it may cause
swelling in the ankles, hands or other extremities. Report any unexplained
swelling to your physician as it may or may not be a sign of FSGS.
5.Pay attention to itching skin.
If FSGS symptoms go unnoticed eventually waste build up in your arteries and
veins will cause your skin to itch and become irritated. See a physician if you
have consistently itching skin.
