Focal glomerulosclerosis in Hodgkin's disease necessitating peritoneal dialysis.
A 16-year-old white boy had nephrotic syndrome due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis six months before the diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease was established. Peritoneal dialysis was necessary for volume control after one month of unsuccessful therapy with high doses of corticosteroids. Nephrosis remitted after two courses of chemotherapy.
