The bisalbuminemia acquired outside of the long-term antibiotic treatment is an exceptional event. It is a rare condition characterised by the presence of two distinct fractions of serum albumin on electrophoresis. This anomaly reflects the presence, at the same time, of a normal albumin and a modified albumin. These changes of albumin may be related to various causes. Their association with nephrotic syndrome is exceptional. We report a case of bisalbuminemia during a period of remission of nephrotic syndrome.
