We report a case of Crohn’s disease associated with nephrotic syndrome due to renal amyloidosis in a 21-year-old man in whom remission of both Crohn’s disease and the nephrotic syndrome has been maintained with an elemental diet. The patient developed toxic megacolon and nephrotic syndrome due to renal amyloidosis. Intensive intravenous prednisolone therapy with total parenteral nutrition was dramatically effective in treating the toxic megacolon and inducing remission in Crohn’s disease and afterward, remission of the nephrotic syndrome. Remission of both conditions has been maintained for more than 2 years with the elemental diet. To our knowledge, this is the first confirmed case of Crohn’s disease complicated with renal amyloidosis in which only slight proteinuria (below 0.3 g/day) was shown with an elemental diet used for a long period.
