Associations between secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and both obesity and obstructive sleep apnea have been previously described. Current theory suggests obesity induces glomerular hyperfiltration, leading to glomerulosclerosis. We describe a case of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in the setting of severe obesity and obstructive sleep apnea with complete resolution of heavy proteinuria following treatment with bi-level positive airway pressure. The patient's proteinuria resolved completely with treatment of obstructive sleep apnea although the patient remained morbidly obese.
