Abstract
Wilson's disease responds to a variety of treatments including D-penicillamine and trientene. Nephrotic syndrome is a late complication of D-penicillamine treatment. We report a pediatric patient with Wilson's disease who developed nephrotic syndrome 2 wk after beginning D-penicillamine. His nephrosis resolved and his disease is quiescent with trientene treatment.
