  • Title: Nephrotic syndrome as an unusual paraneoplastic syndrome of Hodgkin's disease demonstrated on gallium-67 scan.
    Author: Juweid M, Kim CK, Heyman S.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1994 Mar; 19(3):224-7. PubMed ID: 8033474.
    Abstract:
    Nephrotic syndrome, although rare, is recognized as one of the paraneoplastic syndromes. A patient with documented Hodgkin's disease showed increased uptake of Ga-67 in the cortex of both kidneys in addition to multiple sites of lymphomatous involvement. The patient was not receiving chemotherapy or any nephrotoxic drugs, and no other reasons that may account for renal uptake of gallium could be identified. The final clinical diagnosis was nephrotic syndrome as an unusual paraneoplastic syndrome of Hodgkin's disease. Gallium imaging was able to detect multiple sites of lymphoma and the renal uptake due to the associated nephrotic syndrome.
