Abstract

Four patients had the nephrotic syndrome and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which may be pathogenetically related. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis appears to be the most common glomerular lesion in patients with CLL. Available evidence suggests that nephrotic syndrome associated with CLL is often related to immune-complex disease. It is also possible that disorders of immunoglobulin production and cellular immunity contribute to renal disease in patients with CLL.
