Nephrotic syndrome in non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis: a report of three cases

Indian J Gastroenterol. 1993 Oct;12(4):144-6.

Abstract

We describe three patients with nephrotic syndrome and non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis. In two of them, the liver disorder preceded the nephrotic syndrome while in the third patient the two conditions presented together. All three patients achieved remission of nephrotic syndrome with prednisolone and cyclophosphamide.
