Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2028
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a rare kidney disease that affects the kidney's filtering system (glomeruli) and causes severe scarring and end-stage renal disease. According to an article published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology in 2017, FSGS incidence rates are often higher in men, an estimated 1.5-fold higher than in women. Edema, proteinuria, weight gain, increased cholesterol, and proteins in the blood are symptoms of FSGS.
There
is currently no approved treatment for the Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Market. As a result,
limited treatment options and government funding for rare disease research are
expected to propel the Focal Segmental
Glomerulosclerosis Market forward.
Scar tissue in the kidney's filtering unit is known as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The glomerulus is the name for this structure. The glomeruli function as filters, assisting the body in eliminating harmful substances. Each kidney contains thousands of glomeruli. "Focal" means that some of the glomeruli scar.
Rising numbers, as well
as significant untapped opportunities in the market due to a limited number of
pipeline products, are helping to drive it. Non-governmental organizations'
ongoing efforts to raise awareness about rare diseases, as well as increase
funding for rare disease research, are proving beneficial to the market for
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
The
Focal
Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Market can be divided into two types based on
the disease type: primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and secondary
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
accounted for 79.8% of the market in 2016. Primary focal segmental
glomerulosclerosis, also known as primary idiopathic/genetic focal segmental
glomerulosclerosis, is a type of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis disease
that has no known or obvious cause. Growing awareness of the disease and its
management is at the forefront of driving the segment growth.
