Abstract

Cancer Screening in Membranous Nephropathy: A Narrative Review

Vinay Srinivasa*

Membranous nephropathy is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in Caucasian adults. Membranous nephropathy associated cancer has been reported in the literature and is an important secondary cause of membranous nephropathy. Early diagnosis is key as long-term immunosuppression has oncogenic effects and may lead to progression. Current evidence suggests a potential role of biomarkers and imaging for cancer screening in these patients.
