title: A case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting with polyuria and acute renal insufficiency.
abstract: A case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting with polyuria, enlarged kidneys, and renal insufficiency is reported. The diagnosis was made by percutaneous needle biopsy of the kidney. Renal failure reversed and the kidneys regressed in size on exhibition of the first cycle of chemotherapy. The rarity of polyuria at presentation, the role of renal biopsy in the diagnosis, and the response of renal failure to specific chemotherapy are discussed.
