ABSTRACT
Secondary rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) can be caused by many diseases and conditions, including vasculitis, systemic rheumatic diseases, infections, drugs and malignancies. Among the secondary RPGNs, malignancy-associated RPGN is extremely rare and causes renal function deterioration within several weeks to months. Thus, timely immunosuppressant therapy can improve renal outcome. Herein, we describe a case of RPGN detected simultaneously with marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. An 82-year-old male patient, who presented generalized edema and oliguria, was diagnosed with crescentic glomerulonephritis and marginal B-cell lymphoma. After the patient was given methylprednisolone pulse therapy, renal function was restored and hemodialysis was successfully discontinued without complications.
