Zusammenfassung:Urine examination showed 3+ protein, 3-4 red blood cells per high power field, normal hemogram, high serum cholesterol (290 mg/dl), serum creatinine 1.14 mg/dl, serum albumin 1.9 g g/dl, proteinuria of 12 g/day with normal kidneys on ultrasonogram of abdomen. Combining multiple immunosuppressive drugs for a patient with MCD can lead to over immunosuppression and can cause potentially lethal infections, as happened in this patient.
