Glomerulonephritis as a paraneoplastic event from prostate cancer relapse

Abstract

We wish to investigate whether there is a known connection between prostate cancer and glomerulonephritis. We present a case report of a patient whom we diagnosed with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis as a result of prostate cancer relapse. In rare cases, prostate cancer is associated with crescentic glomerulonephritis. Every patient with cryptic glomerulonephritis should be screened for cancer.
