Nephrotic-range proteinuria in a child with retinoic acid syndrome
2012
Background
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a vitamin A derivative that is used in combination with chemotherapy to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). A serious complication of ATRA is retinoic acid syndrome (RAS), which is characterized by an inflammatory reaction with capillary leakage and myeloid cell tissue invasion that presents with cardiopulmonary symptoms and occasionally acute kidney injury.
