ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Although the exact role of the diphenylhydantoin treatment on the immune system is still unclear, prolonged administration of diphenylhydantoin has been suggested to be associated with immune-based disorders and syndromes. CASE REPORT A case of fibrillary glomerulonephritis associated with DPH treatment is reported. This is the first reported case of fibrillary glomerulonephritis associated with this commonly used common anticonvulsive drug.CONCLUSIONS:
A more routine surveillance for proteinuria in patients receiving DPH is recommended.
