- Abstract
Dorfman--Chanarin syndrome (DCS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease. It is a multisystemic disease in which renal involvement is uncommon. We report the case of a woman with nephrotic syndrome associated with DCS. A 36-year-old woman was referred to the nephrology department for edema with known history for DCS. On physical examination, she had ichthyosiform erythroderma with generalized scaly skinand ascites. The ophthalmologic examination revealed a cataract in the right eye. Abdominal ultrasound examination showed hepatomegaly and splenomegaly. Laboratory tests showed normal renal and liver function. The blood cell count showed pancytopenia. Immunologic exams showed the presence of anti-mitochondrial antibodies. Kidney biopsy showed mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with extensive lipid vacuoles in the tubular epithelial cells. Immunofluorescence study showed mesangial deposits of IgG, C3, kappa, and lambda. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of DCS with renal involvement reported in an adult.
