Nephrotic syndrome in Hodgkins disease.

A case of nephrotic syndrome due to minimal lesion glomerulonephritis associated with Hodgkins disease is described. The course of the nephrotic syndrome was relapsing, preceeding the development of lymphoma by eighteen months. Treatment of this nephrotic syndrome with repeated courses of Prednisone and Cyclophosphamide resulted only in partial improvement of his proteinuria. However, complete absence of proteinuria only occurred with successful therapy of Hodgkins disease.

Carcinoma of the oesophagus associated with membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis.

Nephrotic syndrome has been observed in association with different types of neoplasia. This appears to be the first report of the occurrence of the nephrotic syndrome due to membrano proliferative glomerulonephritis in association with carcinoma of the oesophagus. Although proteinuria was present before excision of the tumour, the nephrotic phase occurred subsequently. Eventually it disappeared leaving the patient with a clear urine and biochemical and histological improvement of the renal lesion (including immunofluorescent and electronmicroscopy studies). Possible mechanisms responsible for the nephrotic syndrome in this case are discussed.
