Overview

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) was discovered by Theodor Fahr, a German pathologist, in 1925, and he referred to it as "lipoid nephrosis with degeneration", showing a clear association to minimal change disease. In 1957, FSGS was then described by Dr. Arnold Rich, a pathologist at Johns Hopkins University.
