A graphic illustrating diagnostic approaches for different types of podocytopathy.

Asymptomatic #proteinuria is commonly detected incidentally and identifying the aetiology of an underlying #podocytopathy requires distinct diagnostic approaches.

An adaptive #podocytopathy can be caused by pathophysiological imbalance between glomerular filtration surface and filtration demand when multiple risk factors converge.
