Abstract

The incidence of glomerulonephritis associated with malignancy is not common. Membranous glomerulonephritis associated with carcinomas and minimal change nephrotic syndrome with Hodgkin's disease has been occasionally reported. The pathogenesis of glomerular injury associated with malignancy is not well known. The IgA nephropathy associated with malignancy, though rare, has been reported. IgA nephropathy associated with acute myeloid leukemia, however, is yet to be reported. We hereby report a case of IgA nephropathy associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML M2).
