Do you know the cause of sore and tender feet for FSGS patients?
I believe most patients don’t know the answer. It doesn’t matter, because you can follow me to find the causes today.
FSGS refers to focal segmental glomerulonephritis that attacks a part of glomeruli and affects their normal function. However, as time goes on, more and more glomeruli are involved in FSGS, and finally FSGS may progress into Kidney Failure. During this progression, several conditions can lead feet to be sore and tender.
1. High uric acid level: When glomeruli are damaged, they are unable to eliminate waste products and toxins from the body properly. Then, extra uric acid will build up in the blood that can cause hyperuricemia, arthritis and gout easily. Among them, arthritis may induce sore feet easily.
2. Swelling: Swelling or edema is usually resulted from fluid retention or protein leakage. In this case, the skin of feet may become tender.
3. Blood clot in the legs and feet: Kidneys have an intimate link with blood circulation all over the body. When kidneys fail to work, blood clot may occur that can cause feet to be sore and tender.
