Background. An association between glomerulonephritis and malignant tumors has previously both been found and discarded in clinical series, but to our knowledge never has been tested in a population-based setting.Methods. The Danish Kidney Biopsy Registry includes all kidney biopsies performed from 1985. Using a unique personal identification number, each person in the registry to the National Population Registry and the Danish Cancer Registry were linked. Cancer occurrence after the biopsy was compared in patients with morphological, glomerular diseases with that of the general Danish population, taking into account sex, age, calendar period and time since biopsy, and the 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for the observed-to-expected rates was calculated, assuming a Poisson distribution. Cancer occurrence was stratified to
