Membranous nephropathy associated with acute myeloid leukemia.

Membranous nephropathy is the most common cause of adult-onset idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. Glomerular disease has been reported to occur in association with a wide variety of malignancies, particularly carcinomas and lymphomas. With the case reported here, we relate acute myeloid leukemia with membranous glomerulonephritis, depending on the previous literature reports about the association of malignancies and glomerulopathies.
