The basic mechanism for idiopathic FSGS still is obscure. Indirect evidence in humans and
generation of FSGS by oxidants in experimental models suggest a role of free radicals. In
vitro studies demonstrate a main role of plasma albumin as antioxidant, its modification
representing a chemical marker of oxidative stress. With the use of complementary liquid
chromatography electron spray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) and
biochemical methods, plasma albumin was characterized in 34 patients with FSGS; 18 had …
