Acute Renal Failure due to Leukaemic Infiltration in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia

الملخص EN

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignancy characterized by clonal proliferation and accumulation of B lymphocytes.

Although leukaemic infiltration of the kidney is well recognized in CLL, acute renal failure (ARF) due to leukaemic infiltration is extremely rare.

Here we present a case of ARF as the initial manifestation of CLL.

The diagnosis was made by a kidney biopsy.

Treatment with cyclophosphamide and prednisolone resulted in a completely improved renal function.
