Disease Location
Kidney
Personal Characteristics
9-year-old male
Clinical Characteristics
Frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome treated with cyclosporine. A kidney biopsy was performed to evaluate the nephrotoxicity of cyclosporine. Postoperative hemoglobin (hb) levels decreased by approximately 3.7 g/dl within 12 h, and a substantial hematoma was observed on ultrasound (us). 5 days after the biopsy, abdominal pain and fever developed with high c-reactive protein levels lasting 4 days. CT revealed a round enhanced nodule in the middle pole of the kidney
