Ren Fail. 2008;30(4):465-7. doi: 10.1080/08860220801964269.

Abstract

Renal infiltration in malignant lymphomas may involve the interstitium but rarely causes acute renal failure. In this report, we describe a 59-year-old woman presenting with an acute renal failure due to bilateral diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's infiltration of the kidneys.
