Pack, Park, Yu, Park, Shin, chung, and Lee: A Case of Membranous Glomerulonephritis Associated with Small Cell Lung Cancer Being Complete Remmission with Chemotherapy

Abstract

Paraneoplastic nephrotic syndrome can be diagnosed from its clinical and immunological features. The development of several types of glomerular injury in patients with cancer have been recognized, and are considered as paraneoplastic syndrome. Most prominent are the occurrence of membranous glomerulonephritis in patients with carcinomas. We report a case of a 60-year-old-man with small cell lung cancer presenting as nephrotic syndrome. A renal biopsy revealed membranous glomerulonephritis. Six lots of chemotherapy were administerd, which led to a complete tumor response with total resolution of the nephrotic syndrome following treatment.
