title: [Acute and chronic renal failure in patients with myeloma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze causes of reversible and irreversible renal failure in myeloma patients, lethal outcomes, treatment policy.
  
  
  METHODS
  43 myeloma patients with renal failure entered the trial. The replacement therapy consisted of hemodialysis, hemofiltration, hemodiafiltration. All the patients received full-dose polychemotherapy according to the programs M-2 and VAD.
  
  
  RESULTS
  69% of the patients retained normal renal function. 23% of the patients died. Partial recovery of renal function was observed in 1 patient who had to undergo dialysis once in 10-12 days. The patients survived from 5 days to 36 months (mean 20.6 months). The main causes of death in renal failure were sepsis (38%) and hemorrhagic stroke (14%).
