title: Hodgkin's disease complicated by the nephrotic syndrome.
abstract: A 12-year-old boy with nodular sclerosis Hodgkin's disease demonstrated nephrotic syndrome. A renal biopsy studied with light microscopy, electron microscopy, and immunofluorescence showed minimal change glomerulonephritis and some foci of fluorescence with anti-IgM. A literature review revealed that 35 cases of Hodgkin's disease with nephrotic syndrome have been reported. Possible etiologic mechanisms are discussed.
