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.
Common Causes
Common risk factors in the development of minimal change disease include:[1]
Common Risk Factors
- Children within the Age >1 year and <8 years
- Hodgkin lymphoma
- leukemia
- Recent viral illness
- Toxins such as Mercury, bee stings, fire coral exposure are one of the causes for minimal change disease.
- Medications such as:[2]
- Salazopyrin
- Mercury
- Tiopronin
- Lithium
- D-penicillamine
- Gold
- Tyrosine-kinase inhibitor
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of minimal change disease include:[3][4]
