The Columbia classification employs a systematic, hierarchical approach to define five mutually exclusive variants. Studies have demonstrated differences in baseline clinical characteristics and outcomes among the Columbia classification variants. However, the evolution of the Columbia classification variants of primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is unclear. We assessed the evolution of morphological variants in FSGS based on repeat native renal biopsies.
