Membranous glomerulonephritis, dermatomyositis, and bronchial carcinoma.

Porphyria cutanea tarda, dermatomyositis and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in virus C infection.

Virus C infection has been associated with a broad spectrum of extrahepatic diseases such as essential mixed cryoglobulinemia, membranous glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus. The etiologic role of virus C has also been observed in some neoplasms such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and the monoclonal gammapathies. Many studies also support the link between thi...

A rare case of dermatomyositis associated with immune-complex type glomerulonephritis, idiopathic thrombopenic purpura, pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer.

Recurrence of Paraneoplastic Membranous Glomerulonephritis Following Chemoradiation in a Man With Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma

Membranous glomerulonephritis can occur as a rare paraneoplastic complication of human cancers. In this case report, we describe a patient who presented acutely with symptoms of the nephrotic syndrome including heavy proteinuria and anasarca. He was subsequently diagnosed with membranous glomerulonephritis, and soon afterwards was found to have stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. Following c...

Nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver with membranous glomerulonephritis.

Nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver is an uncommon disorder, the main consequence of which is portal hypertension, hepatocellular decompensation being uncommon. A case associated with membranous glomerulonephritis is reported, in which death was caused by fulminant hepatic failure.
