Abstract
|
|
|
|
Nephrotic syndrome has been reported to accompany a malignancy. Since the first case of the nephritic syndrome associated with extra-renal malignancy was reported in 1922, only a few cases of nephrotic syndrome accompanying other malignancies have been reported. Previous reports on such cases indicated a pattern of improvement in nephropathy as malignancy improved. But the cases of resolved nephropathy with aggravated cancer have scarcely been documented. Here we report a case of a 69 year-old male with nephrotic syndrome accompanying non-small cell lung cancer, whose proteinuria was normalized after chemotherapy while his cancer was aggravated.
