A member asked:

What is the rare renal disease called idiopathic collapsing glomeralpathy(icg)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

FSGS: Collapsing glomerulopathy is a variant of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. In the past it was linked to HIV but there have been many cases in which the cause is unknown (hence it is termed idiopathic).
