Abstract

Introduction: Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis has been reported to occur in association with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma but there is few information about glomerulonephritis response to the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.Case Presentation: A 67 years-old caucasian female admitted to outpatient clinic with peripheral edema complaint.
