In contrary, when virus attacks the body, the immune system of FSGS patients release some antibodies which form into a new substance with the virus. And the substance is known as immune complex.
The immune complex will flow with the blood circulation. And when it deposits in the kidney tissues for a long time, it will cause inflammation in the kidney tissues, causing kidney damage, which is the FSGS.
