title: [Renal manifestations in Hodgkin disease. Two case-reports with a review of the medical literature (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors report on two patients in whom Hodgkin disease was revealed by renal complications: nephrotic syndrome in one patient and renal failure with enlarged kidneys secondary to malignant infiltration in the other. In comparison to other lymphomas, renal infiltration is infrequent in Hodgkin disease. Clinical manifestations of renal infiltration are delayed. Renal failure with enlarged kidneys, which is very uncommon, carries a poor prognosis and is often associated with involvement of the lungs. Nephrotic syndrome in Hodgkin disease may be secondary to one of the three following causes: renal vein compression, renal amyloïdosis, or a paraneoplastic syndrome. The latter is the most common cause and is probably ascribable to immunologic disturbances. Among the other complications, infection and the renal consequences of metabolic disorders are mentioned.
