Stauffer[woo-hoo. that's my last name] syndrome is a constellation of signs and symptoms of liver dysfunction that arise due to presence of renal cell carcinoma[1] but are not due to tumour inflitration into the liver and/or intrinsic liver disease; it is a paraneoplastic syndrome.[2]
It leads to elevated liver function tests, which results from cholestatis, i.e. a sessation of bile flow. The symptoms resolve if the renal cell cancer is sucessfully treated.[2]
