ABSTRACT
Scorpion venom is a water soluble, antigenic and heterogeneous mixture. The venom is composed of varying concentration of neurotoxin, cardiotoxin, nephrotoxin, haemolytic toxin, phosphodiesterase, phospholipases, hyaluronidases, glycosaminoglycans, histamine, serotonins, and tryptophan and cytokine releasers. The reported incidence of scorpion sting in India is 0.6 %. Scorpion sting resulting in acute renal failure has been reported in the past, but not the nephrotic syndrome. We report a patient of nephrotic syndrome after scorpion sting. The lacunae in the present knowledge linking scorpion sting venom with nephrotic syndrome would only be replete with publications of similar reports.
