Overview
The cause of minimal change disease has not been identified or idiopathic.Nephrotic syndrome is most commonly as a result of damage to the clusters of tiny blood vessels (glomeruli) .But secondary causes may be due to Drugs,Toxins,Infection and Tumor .

- Toxins like Mercury, bee stings, fire coral exposure are one of the causes for minimal change disease.
- Drugs like
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of minimal change disease include:
- [null Hepatitis B or C infection]
- [null low birth weight (LBW)]
