Abstract

Malignant tumors may affect the kidney in a direct and in an indirect fashion. In addition, there are multiple paraneoplastic syndromes and the side effects of the tumor therapy. Therefore, clinicians may encounter a wide spectrum of disorders representing almost all aspects of kidney diseases. Importantly, practitioners taking care of patients with glomerulopathies must always consider the possibility of a co-existence of a malignancy, as highlighted by our case report.
