title: Glomerulonephritis and chronic myelogenous leukemia.
abstract: An adolescent with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) developed gross hematuria. Evaluation included renal biopsy revealing a proliferative glomerulonephritis with mesangial deposits of immunoglobulins A and G. An association between CML and immune-complex glomerulonephritis has not been previously reported and may represent a paraneoplastic phenomenon.
