OBJECTIVE: To describe a possible association between @entity2743 and @entity1985 secondary to minimal @entity8 and to review the literature related to @entity8 in @entity1 with @entity2743 . METHODS: The clinical, laboratory, and renal biopsy findings in a @entity1 with @entity2743 and minimal @entity8 are discussed. In addition, the pertinent English-language literature published from 1966 to 2009, determined by means of a MEDLINE search, is reviewed. RESULTS: A 63-year-old @entity1 who was admitted to the hospital with @entity1985 . @entity1 had a history of @entity2743 for last 2 years with associated @entity6875 . He had been treated with @entity3937 and low low-dose @entity230 ( @entity229 5 mg daily). Examination revealed generalized oedemaedema and exophthalmoses. Laboratory tests showed 6.62 g/day of @entity644 . Antinuclear antibodies, anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA), serum complement levels, cryoglobulin, @entity99 screen and serum and urine protein electrophoreses were normal. A kidney biopsy revealed features consistent with @entity1987 on light, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy. The @entity1 had an excellent clinical and laboratory response after treatment with @entity230 and near total thyroidectomy. CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the fourth report of the occurrence of @entity1987 in a @entity1 with @entity2743 in the absence of any other @entity1200 known to be associated with minimal @entity8 .
