ABSTRACT
Kimura's disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by nontender lymphadenopathy involving the head and neck region. Renal involvement in KD is rare, especially in children. We report a 12-year-old boy who had been previously treated for classical KD and had presented with anasarca and oliguria after 4 years. There were no swellings or lymphadenopathy. The kidney biopsy revealed membranous nephropathy. Remission was achieved with oral prednisolone and tacrolimus therapy. This patient highlights the need to regularly monitor patients with KD for the evolution of renal diseases, even if lymphadenopathy regresses. Serial monitoring for eosinophilia, inflammatory markers, and urine examination is needed to help identify subclinical disease early and prompt initiation of specific therapy.
