The nephrotic syndrome has been defined as “renal loss of albumin resulting in diminished concentration, variably associated with hyperlipoidemia and edema” (1). It has been clear since the time of Richard Bright (2) that some patients with renal disease are edematous and have lipemic serum and marked proteinuria. Association of the nephrotic syndrome with other systemic diseases such as lupus erythematosus (3), diabetes mellitus (4, 5) and amyloidosis (6), and with infections such as syphilis (7, 8) and malaria (9) has been observed.
