Comparison of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and other primary glomerulonephrites in terms of parameters of hepatic steatosis and metabolic syndrome.

The presence of hepatic steatosis, an increase in waist circumference and BMI values, which are body components favoring obesity, and an increase in HbA1c, which is a marker for hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, are greater risk factors for the development of FSGS compared with other primary glomerulonephritis diagnoses.
