Abstract

Cancer-associated glomerulopathy (CAG) is a rare type of glomerular disease and a complication of malignancy. It is not absolutely related to the tumor burden, invasion, or metastasis however is supposed to be caused by tumor cell products. The recognition of cancer-related glomerulopathy is clinically crucial because it can be the first sign of an underlying malignancy. The most common glomerular diseases which are caused by malignancy are paraneoplastic glomerulopathy. Moreover, membranous nephropathy is the most common glomerular pathology associated with solid tumors. © 2024 The Author(s); Published by Society of Diabetic Nephropathy Prevention.
