Abstract
We report a case of paraneoplastic liver dysfunction associated with a renal cell carcinoma, which disappeared after surgery. A 62-year-old male presented with fatigue and weight loss. The most prominent laboratory abnormality was elevated alkaline phosphatase, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6 while normal aminotransferases. Computed tomography scan revealed a solid mass in the left kidney. A left radical nephrectomy was performed. After the surgery, biochemical abnormalities returned to normal.
