Nephrotic syndrome (NS) in a patient with diabetes mellitus (DM) first suggests the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy. However, glomerular diseases other than diabetic nephropathy have been reported in patients with DM. We present a child with type 1 DM (DM1) associated with NS. A 3 year-old boy who was diagnosed with DM1 developed proteinuria in nephrotic range at the 10th month of follow-up. He had remission on steroid treatment without any problem in glycemic control as he was given tapered daily doses instead of an alternate day regimen. He relapsed at the 7th month of follow-up, and cyclophosphamide treatment brought about remission. He had HLA A24, DR4 and DR53 antigens in common with previously reported cases of DM-NS association. The immunological basis of these diseases may have a causal effect on the association, but the etiopathogenesis is still unclear.
