ABSTRACT
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and IgA nephropathy are among the most common glomerular disorders. FSGS is characterized by focal scarring affecting less than 50% of glomeruli while IgA nephropathy is characterized by the deposition of IgA in the mesangium of glomeruli. The presence of both of these diseases in a single patient is uncommon, but the presence of both in a young individual with no predisposing factors is exceedingly rare. As such, our case report outlines the unusual presentation of both of these disorders in a young Hispanic female with no known risk factors.
