Re: Kartagener Syndrome With Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

Dear Editor, The article published by Momeni and colleagues, entitled “Kartagener syndrome with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis” in the esteemed Iranian Journal of Kidney Diseases had some interesting points. In this article, they explained a 27-year-old female patient as a case of Kartagener syndrome. Renal biopsy in this case showed segmental scar with adhesion to the Bowman capsule, which was indicative of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). We would like to remind a few points. Indeed, it is indispensable to classify the variant of FSGS, too. In 2004, a group of renal pathologists suggested a consensus-based morphological classification system for FSGS based exclusively on light microscopic examination, commonly known as the Columbia classification.
