FSGS is typically classified as primary or secondary, and is also a common histologic endpoint in a variety of kidney diseases. The finding of significant foot process effacement by electron microscopy would raise the possibility of primary/idiopathic FSGS. Vague glomerular basement membrane abnormalities seen by electron microscopy, while non-specific, also raise suspicion for a genetic cause of FSGS.
