Introduction. Frasier syndrome (FS) is a genetic form of glomerulopathy,
which results from mutations in the Wilms’ tumour suppressor gene (WT1).
Proteinuria in FS has been traditionally considered unresponsive to any
medication and FS inevitably progresses to end stage renal failure. Case
Outline. We present a patient with FS who had atypical clinical manifestation
and unusual beneficial antiproteinuric response to renin-angiotensin system
(RAS) inhibitors given in combination with indomethacin. After 13 years of
follow-up, the patient is now 17-year old with normal renal functions and no
proteinuria. Conclusion. RAS inhibitors combined with indomethacin showed
beneficial effect in our patient. Thus, this combination might be the initial
treatment of patients with FS. If this treatment strategy was not satisfied
for at least 3 months, then CsA would be considered to be administered taking
account of the nephrotoxicity and the increased risk of malignancy. Further
prospective study is required to clarify this issue.
