Objective
We wish to investigate whether there is a known connection between prostate cancer and glomerulonephritis.
Methods
We present a case report of a patient whom we diagnosed with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis as a result of prostate cancer relapse.
Results
In rare cases, prostate cancer is associated with crescentic glomerulonephritis.
Conclusion
Every patient with cryptic glomerulonephritis should be screened for cancer.
