Department of Pediatric Nephrology, Tokyo Women's Medical College, Japan.

A 16-year-old male with a long history of steroid-responsive nephrotic syndrome developed fever, abdominal pain, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure. The clinical course and renal histology were similar to, but not typical of, haemolytic uremic syndrome. Positive cultures (throat, oesophagus, stool), an elevation in serum levels of specific antibody and fungal polysaccharide (1,3) beta-D-glucan and response to the antifungal therapy indicated an association between this syndrome and infection with Candida albicans.

D009404 Nephrotic Syndrome A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.
