Abstract
We report the case of a 62-year-old man with nephrotic syndrome associated with stage B chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Kappa Bence Jones proteinu ria and the glomerular deposition of kappa-light chain were observed. Altho ugh treatment with cyclophosphamide and prednisolone tended to reduce the l evel of proteinuria, the administration of angiotensin-converting enzyme in hibitor, enalapril, resulted in complete remission of nephrotic syndrome.
