Long-Term Observation of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis after Treatment of Renal Parenchymal Malakoplakia: A Case Report
Our findings suggest that structural changes due to malakoplakia can cause FSGS. Moreover, structural changes indicate the healing of malakoplakia in infancy and the disappearance of its characteristic lesions over time. Owing to its long-term observation period, this unique case provides new insights into the outcomes of patients with renal parenchymal malakoplakia.
