Scand J Urol Nephrol. 1997 Jun;31(3):295-6. doi: 10.3109/00365599709070351.

Abstract

A 50-year-old male presented with nephrotic syndrome associated with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Renal biopsy was suggestive of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. The proteinuria disappeared 4 weeks after the removal of tumour. This is the second reported case of association between nephrotic syndrome and transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.
