Abstract
- The relationship between malignancy and membranous nephropathy remains unresolved exactly, but it was suggeste d that nephrotic syndrome can be menifested as a prodrome to underlying malignancy. It has been reported that membranous nephropathy is associated with malignancy, however, a few cases were reported in Korea. We recently experienced a patient with stomach cancer which was detected during the follow-up of the membranous nephropathy. Proteinuria and microsopic hematuria disappeared after subtotal gastrectomy. We concluded that the stomach cancer might be a cause of glomerulonephritis in this case.
