We briefly present this first case of choriocarcinoma causing membranous glomerulonephritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In this article, an exceptional renal involvement of Hodgkin's lymphoma is discussed in light of the related literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In a phase II trial of 58 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who received rituximab (375 mg/m 2 ), no patient developed HACA ( 113 ). [cjasn.asnjournals.org]

• Anemia

  Evaluation of patients diagnosed with membranous nephropathy usually includes the following: A search for occult cancer, particularly in a patient who has lost weight, has unexplained anemia or heme-positive stools, or is older Consideration of drug-induced [merckmanuals.com]

  Apparent anemia occurred in two female patients with rheumatoid arthritis; normal peripheral blood white cell count and platelet count were observed in all patients. Four patients were ANA-positive. [doi.org]

• Hypotension

  Attempts to increase lisinopril a further resulted in postural hypotension. In December 2004, the patient returned for follow-up. BP was 107/58 mmHg, and his pulse rate was 69. [cjasn.asnjournals.org]

• Hematuria

  CASE: We present the case of a 49-year-old man who had fatigue, flank pain, hematuria and renal failure. Serology was positive for anti-GBM antibodies; crescentic glomerulonephritis was seen on renal biopsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  When they were first evaluated, 9 patients had microscopic hematuria, 5 had peripheral edema, 5 had nephrotic-range proteinuria, and 3 patients were hypertensive. [biomedcentral.com]

• Kidney Failure

  Corticosteroids: They have been tried with mixed results, with one study showing prevention of progression to kidney failure without improvement in proteinuria. [en.wikipedia.org]

  She was admitted because of acute kidney failure, bloody diarrhea, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Further evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The two can be distinguished by clinical, laboratory, and histological features (see Presentation and Workup ). [1] Successful treatment of the underlying cause may be curative in secondary forms. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The diagnosis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy was established by renal biopsy as part of the routine clinical workup for the investigation of proteinuria. 8 The studies were approved by the relevant institutional review boards in the three countries [doi.org]

Fifteen patients were randomized for early treatment (group A) and 14 for postponed treatment (group B). [doi.org]

Treatment of secondary membranous nephropathy is guided by the treatment of the original disease. For treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy, the treatment options include immunosuppressive drugs and non-specific anti-proteinuric measures. [en.wikipedia.org]

There is no specific treatment for membranous nephropathy. [cjasn.asnjournals.org]

Persistent proteinuria at diagnosis predicts poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Long-term prognosis is guarded because approximately 50% of patients may have evidence of progressive kidney disease. [biomedcentral.com]
