    Abstract

    We describe three patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome associated with penicillamine treatment. Two patients had systemic sclerosis and one had rheumatoid arthritis. Cumulative dose of D-penicillamine was similar in all cases, and nephrotic syndrome appeared after 15-33 months of treatment. The drug was stopped and nephrotic syndrome disappeared in 2-4 months, suggesting a possible causal relationship between penicillamine and minimal change disease.
