title: Nephrotic syndrome from 5-ASA for ulcerative colitis? Complicated by carcinoma of the colon and sclerosing cholangitis.
abstract: A patient with nephrotic syndrome had been treated with mesalazine for ulcerative colitis, and also had a carcinoma of the colon and sclerosing cholangitis. This seemingly unrelated series of complications gives us the opportunity to review the problem of nephropathy in ulcerative colitis.
