title: Nephrotic syndrome associated with agnogenic myeloid metaplasia.
abstract: Extramedullary hematopoiesis being an important feature of agnogenic myeloid metaplasia (AMM), a chronic myeloproliferative disease of clonal origin, may affect the kidneys, but this condition is usually asymptomatic. Until now, there is only one reported case of nephrotic syndrome associated with AMM. We present a patient with AMM who had nephrotic syndrome and whose renal biopsy revealed membranous glomerulonephritis together with renal extramedullary hematopoiesis.
