Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glomerulosclerosis refers to scarring or hardening of the glomeruli–blood vessels located in the kidneys. The glomeruli filter the blood as it passes through the kidneys. They remove waste fluids that then leave the body as urine. Damaged glomeruli can’t perform their job adequately.
