    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Oncology
    • Radiation Oncology

    Background:

    • Radiation nephritis is a known complication of radiation therapy.
    • Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by heavy proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia.

    Observation:

    • A 56-year-old woman developed acute radiation nephritis with nephrotic syndrome post-abdominal radiation therapy for spinal cord astrocytoma.

    Findings:

    • Renal biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of radiation nephritis.
    • This represents the first documented case linking radiation nephritis with nephrotic syndrome.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for nephrotic syndrome as a clinical manifestation of radiation nephritis.
    • Emphasizes the importance of renal monitoring in patients undergoing abdominal radiation therapy.
