Abstract EN
Among the causes of the nephrotic syndrome in renal allografts, minimal change disease is a rarity with only few cases described in the medical literature.
Most cases described have occurred early in the post-transplant course.
There is no established treatment for the condition but prognosis is favorable.
We describe a case of minimal change disease that developed 8 years after a successful transplantation of a renal allograft in a middle-aged woman.
The nephrotic syndrome was accompanied by deterioration of allograft function.
Treatment with mycophenolate mofetil was successful in inducing remission and stabilizing allograft function.
