Quinidine-induced nephrotic syndrome.
A case of nephrotic syndrome occurring in an elderly woman who was being treated with quinidine is described. The nephrotic syndrome resolved completely after discontinuation of quinidine treatment. It is felt that the use of quinidine was causally related to the development of nephrotic syndrome in this patient. As far as could be determined, no such case has been described previously in the medical literature in English.
