Abstract:

  A male patient with acute renal failure (ARF) due to large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma infiltration of kidney is presented. The diagnosis was suspected because of coincidence of ARF and tumor lysis syndrome non-responsive to conservative renal therapies. A renal biopsy confirmed diagnosis and appropriate chemotherapy led to complete improvement of renal function.

acute renal failure due to renal lymphomatous infiltration as the initial manifestation

a male patient with acute renal failure (arf) due to large b-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma infiltration of kidney is presented. the diagnosis was suspected because of coincidence of arf and tumor lysis syndrome non-responsive to conservative renal therapies. a renal biopsy confirmed diagnosis and appropriate chemotherapy led to complete improvement of renal function.

Acute renal failure due to lymphomatous infiltration of the kidneys.

Acute renal failure (ARF) is an unusual manifestation of lymphomatous infiltration of the kidneys. In this article, a patient whose initial presentation of lymphoma was the sudden onset of painless hematuria and ARF is described. The absence of other causes of ARF, together with massively enlarged unobstructed kidneys on renal ultrasonography, strongly suggested an infiltrative process. Renal b...

Acute oliguric renal failure secondary to lymphomatous infiltration of the kidneys.

A case of lymphomatous infiltration of the kidneys presenting as acute oliguric renal failure of unknown cause is described. Renal biopsy was required to establish the diagnosis. Combined chemotherapy (MOPP) produced significant improvement in renal function.

A rare case of acute renal failure due to massive renal allograft infiltration with Candida glabrata.

Renal transplant patients remain at risk of graft loss due to acute rejection, calcineurin inhibitor toxicity and chronic allograft nephropathy. Less frequent causes include opportunistic infections related to immunosuppressive therapy. However, infections are a major clinical issue in the field of renal transplantation, impacting on graft and patient survival. Fungal infections account for abo...

Acute renal failure due to leptospirosis grippotyphosa.

In a minority of previously healthy patients presenting with acute renal failure, infectious agents are responsible for renal deterioration. Isolation of microorganisms is often unsuccessful and therefore a nosological diagnosis difficult. We describe two patients with reversible acute renal failure, which by serological methods proved to be due to infection with Leptospira grippotyphosa. It is...

Acute renal failure due to traumatic rhabdomyolysis.

Between 1990 and 1993, we studied 14 cases of acute renal failure due to prolonged muscular exercise (e.g., squat jumping, sit-ups) and blunt trauma inflicted by law enforcement personnel using sticks or leather belts. None of the patients had a prior history of myopathy, neuropathy, or renal disease. All were critically ill and required renal support in the form of dialysis. Although the morbi...
