Abstract
Nephrotic syndrome is one of the kidney diseases characterized with features like proteinuria, hypoproteinosis, hyperliposis due to the hyperlucency of the glomerulus. It is classified into the primary and secondary types. The minimal change nephrotic syndrome is one of the primary types with no obvious change in microscopic histopathological features. The treatment of choice for these patients is the adrenal cortex hormone therapy however, the relapse of nephrosis is observed at times resulting from stress overload. We herein report a case with minimal change nephrotic syndrome who had a relapse of nephrosis following orthodontic surgery under the general anesthesia, and also discuss the surgical treatment for this patient.
