IgA nephropathy and hodgkin's disease: a rare coincidence. Case report and literature review

Am J Kidney Dis. 2005 Jan;45(1):e16-9. doi: 10.1053/j.ajkd.2004.09.007.

Abstract

In Hodgkin's disease, the most common paraneoplastic glomerular abnormality is minimal change nephropathy, although other glomerular diseases occasionally have been described. We report a case of extracapillary immunoglobulin A glomerulonephritis presenting as acute renal failure in a woman with newly diagnosed Hodgkin's disease. Treatment with the bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone regimen resulted in complete hematologic and renal remission for more than 1 year after diagnosis.
