Abstract

The coexistence of lung cancer and glomerular lesion is not commonly reported. Malignancy-related glomerulopathy is commonly membranous glomerulonephritis. Other glomerulopathies are seldom reported. We report two cases presenting with non-small-cell lung cancer, acute renal failure and nephrotic syndrome secondary to membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and amyloidosis.

KEYWORDS

Lung cancer, malignancy, glomerulopathy, proteinuria.
