pubmed:abstractText
Two children with nephrotic syndrome are described whose clinical course, initial response to steroids, and renal biopsies were consistent with a diagnosis of minimal lesion disease (MLD). Both children subsequently became resistant to steroids and repeat renal biopsies 7 and 8 years after initial biopsies showed membranous glomerulonephropathy (MGN). Explanations are suggested which may account for the occurrence of MLD followed by MGN in a single patient. These cases illustrate the necessity of performing repeat renal biopsies in patients with nephrotic syndrome if the clinical behavior and response to steroids are not typical for MLD.
