  • Title: Nephrotic syndrome due to subacute glomerulonephritis -- association with hydrocarbon exposure?
    Author: von Schéele C, Althoff P, Kempi V, Schelin U.
    Journal: Acta Med Scand; 1976; 200(5):427-9. PubMed ID: 983815.
    Abstract:
    A 59-year-old man developed a nephrotic syndrome 40 days after hydrocarbon exposure of 3 days' duration. Renal biopsy gave evidence of a subacute proliferative glomerulonephritis. A lasting remission was obtained with immunosuppressive therapy. The case history is discussed in the light of recent studies indicating a causal relationship between hydrocarbon exposure and glomerulonephritis. The reversible nature of the disease in the present case is discussed in relation to the disease in experimental animals induced by a single administration of heterologus antigen.
