Abstract
Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome is characterized by elevated and prolonged blood eosinophilia along with organ system involvement and malfunction. The heart is the most frequently involved organ, and renal participation is extremely rare. Herein, we report on a case of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome with renal involvement as the first manifestation.
