Core Tip	Primary acquired focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis is a frequent cause of nephrotic syndrome with no specific treatment. New discoveries in its pathophysiolohy have revealed that a podocyte permeability factor named soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) may be involved in the development of proteinuria and edema formation. This effect is supposed to be achieved by its interaction with podocyte integrins and subsequent cell contraction. Moreover, suPAR also activates water and sodium retention in this disease. Interestingly, plasmin mediates both effects. Amiloride is postulated to interfere with suPAR proteinuric actions.
