We report on a group of 27 patients with minimal-change nephrotic syndrome who presented complete recovery from the nephrotic syndrome and the other clinical signs during follow-up. At the start of the examination an elevated serum urea was found in 10 (37%) and of serum creatinine in 4 (15%) patients. Creatinine clearance was decreased in 10 (37%), systolic blood pressure was elevated in 8 (29%) and diastolic in 11 (41%). Interstitial oedema was found in 3, tubular parenchymal degeneration in 4, slight interstitial mononuclear infiltration in 6 and Slight interstitial fibrosis in 1 patient. Complete recovery of renal function was seen in all patients.
