ABSTRACT
Wilson's disease is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by degenerative changes in the brain, liver, and cornea. Treatment includes D-penicillamine, trientine, and zinc sulfate. D-penicillamine has been used frequently as first line therapy for Wilson's disease. However, nephrotoxicity can occur after D-penlcillamlne treatment. Among them membranous glomerulopathy is the most common histological abnormality but minimal change lesions have also been reported. Nephrotic syndrome is a late complication of D-penicillamine treatment but very rarely can occur within 2 months after treatment of D-penicillamine. We report the early development of minimal change nephrotic syn,frome in a 3-year-old'girl with Wilson's disease 3 weeks after initiation of D-penicillamine.
Key words: Wilson's disease | D-penicillamine | Nephrotic syndrome
