Abstract

Renal involvement in multiple myeloma has multiple etiologies. Glomerulonephritis rarely occurs in multiple myeloma and numerous case reports in the literature explain their correlation. We report 2 cases of glomerulonephritis, one membranous glomerulonephritis and the other focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, in which multiple myeloma was confirmed after several months in the first case and synchronous with the second. Glomerulonephritis can be an uncommon, but not rare, cause of proteinuria in multiple myeloma.
