Article Synopsis
- Paraneoplastic IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a rare condition where symptoms of IgAN appear in patients with certain cancers, and its link to malignancy is still debated.
- A 68-year-old Japanese man with glottic cancer was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome due to IgAN, which was confirmed by a renal biopsy showing a specific type of glomerulonephritis.
- After successful treatment of his cancer, his kidney symptoms improved, suggesting that IgAN might be associated with glottic cancer, and further research on the role of certain IgA types in this context is warranted.
