title: Paraneoplastic syndromes of the kidney.
abstract: Malignant disease is associated with a wide variety of derangements in renal function and electrolyte homeostasis. In many cases this leads to a clinically significant worsening of health status and rarely may lead to the patient's death. In this review we discuss several of the important abnormalities of renal structure and function associated with neoplastic disease.
