Segmental Focal Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a rare kidney disease that affects the filtration system (glomeruli) of the kidneys, causing severe scarring and end-stage renal disease. According to an article published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology in 2017, the incidence of FSGS is 1.5 times higher in males than in women. Edema, proteinuria, weight gain, elevated cholesterol, and proteins in the blood are all indications of FSGS.
The expanding population, as well as the significant
untapped market prospects due to a limited number of pipeline items, are
helping to enhance it. Non-government organizations' continued efforts to raise
awareness about rare diseases, as well as increased funding for rare disease
research, are proving advantageous to the industry.
The Focal
Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Market can be divided into primary focal
segmental glomerulosclerosis and secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
according on the disease type. Primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis had
the largest market share of the two in 2016, accounting for 79.8% of the total
market. Primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, also known as primary
idiopathic/genetic focal Focal Segmental
Glomerulosclerosis Market, is a type of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
disease with no known or visible cause. Growing awareness of the disease and
how to manage it is at the forefront of the segment's growth.
The global Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Market
for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) can be divided into diagnostic
and treatment, depending on how the condition is managed. The diagnosis section
can be further subdivided into creatine tests, kidney biopsy, and so on. Drug
therapy, kidney transplantation, and dialysis are the three types of treatment
available. The treatment segment now accounts for the majority of revenue in
the market for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). This is due to the
market's large unmet requirements. In the coming years, the segment will
benefit from a promising pipeline of new compounds and their approval.
