Abstract
A 70-year-old man developed minimal-change nephrotic syndrome and acut e interstitial nephritis while undergoing gamma interferon therapy fol lowing right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. It appears that gam ma interferon as well as renal cell carcinoma may have played a role a s etiologic factors in this nephropathy. We report this extremely rare case of renal cell carcinoma complicated by minimal-change nephrotic syndrome and acute interstitial nephritis, and present a review of the literature.
