Why there is high potassium level with FSGS?
FSGS is marked by glomerulus damage and decline of kidney function. when more and more glomerulus are damaged, the kidney function will greatly drop. Kidneys are the main organs to keep balance of electrolyte. When kidneys are damaged, the electrolyte balance will be broken. Potassium is one of the important electrolyte in our body. The potassium cannot be discharged due to kidney problems. So there is high potassium level in blood.
