Nephrotic syndrome as a consequence of secondary syphilis. Presentation of a case
Keywords:
Kidney Diseases, Sexually transmitted diseases, Syphilis, Nephrotic syndromeAbstract
Introduction: among the causes of nephrotic syndrome are systemic and infectious ones such as syphilis. During secondary lueticism all organs can be affected, however kidney damage is rare. It is characterized by progressive edema, until it becomes generalized, foamy urine, dyslipidemia, together with characteristic skin lesions.
Objective: to present an adult male patient with nephrotic syndrome and coincident syphilitic secondary syndrome.
Case presentation: the case presented consists of a patient with nephrotic syndrome, coinciding with secondary syphilis.
Conclusions: this study allowed us to observe the small number of published cases with a diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome and secondary syphilis. It is an example of the association between both pathologies and the importance of ruling out secondary causes when faced with nephrotic syndrome.
