<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis has been reported to occur in association with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma but there is few information about glomerulonephritis response to the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.</p><p><strong>Case Presentation:</strong> A 67 years-old caucasian female admitted to outpatient clinic with peripheral edema complaint. She had mild proteinuria and microhematuria on admission and tuberculosis, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (cured), diabetes mellitus and hypertension history.

There is limited information available concerning the effects of treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma on the progression of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. We report a rare case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, that continued to be in remission after chemotherapy treatment of lymphoma.</p>
