Renal cell carcinoma with nephrotic syndrome: a case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT: In previous studies, the association between malignant tumors and the development of glomerular disease has been well documented. Malignant tumors that cause glomerular damage are mainly classified into two categories: Hematological tumors and solid tumors. Of them, the most common type is Hodgkin's lymphoma, while renal carcinoma is substantially infrequent. This study describes a 67-year-old Chinese male patient who was hospitalized for nephrotic syndrome with the symptoms of hypertension, edema and foamy urine, and has not taken any related drugs before.

What is unique about this patient is the treatment-removing the tumor first may aggravate the kidney
