The disease sometimes follows a respiratory infection or routine prophylactic immunization.*A characteristic feature its usually dramatic response to corticosteroid therapy.*MCD in adults can be associated with Hodgkin lymphoma and less frequently other lymphomas and leukemias.*In addition secondary MCD may follow NSAID therapy, usually in associated with acute interstitial nephritis.*Hyper coagulation in Nephrotic syndrome is causes by loss of antithrombin III ***Most common fixative used in electron microscopy -formalin**Fixative used in histopathology - 10% buffered neutral formalin
