A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of a child with nephrotic syndrome complicated with chylothorax admitted to the Kidney Department of Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University. A 13-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital due to nephrotic syndrome with pleural effusion. The pleural puncture fluid was chylothorax, and laboratory examination confirmed true chylothorax. Lymphangiography revealed obstruction of the thoracic duct outlet. Renal biopsy showed minimal glomerular lesions. After primary treatment, early active anticoagulation, and symptomatic comprehensive treatment, the prognosis of the patient is good. It is suggested that chylothorax is a rare complication of pediatric nephrotic syndrome. In the absence of contraindications, early chest enhanced CT and vascular ultrasound should be performed to search for evidence of thrombosis. It is also recommended to undergo lymphangiography to assess the presence of lymphatic malformations. In terms of treatment, the main focus is on controlling the primary disease, actively anticoagulating, and symptomatic treatment, with a good prognosis.
