- Abstract
- A 20-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus presented with generalized edema and nephrotic range proteinuria. A
renal biopsy revealed diffuse foot process effacement without significant glomerular immune deposits, which was compatible with
minimal-change nephrotic syndrome. The diagnosis of lupus podocytopathy was made and high-dose prednisolone was started.
After prednisolone therapy, the generalized edema and proteinuria improved. (Korean J Med 76:S144-S147, 2009)
