Abstract

Acute Kidney Injury in Minimal Change Disease in Young Female: A Case Report

Parneet Kaur*, Lilit Gasparyan and Akhil Jain

Minimal change disease has been reported as a rare cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults in contrast to children. It can be associated with complications like acute kidney injury due to proteinuria. Most of the reported cases in the literature are elderly males with hypertension. We report a case of a 30-year-old normotensive female who developed acute kidney injury in the background setting of minimal change disease. The pathophysiology, underlying the association between acute tubular necrosis and minimal change disease will be also discussed.
