    Summary
    In this paper, a boy is reported with the association of congenital analbuminemia (CAA) and steroid-sensitive idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS), two conditions resulting independently in reduced colloid oncotic pressure. The unique occurrence helps confirm earlier reports that albumin is not the exclusive factor responsible for maintaining colloid oncotic pressure
