title: [Acute renal failure in a patient with disseminated intravascular coagulation accompanied by acute promyelocytic leukemia: a case report, diagnostic difficulties].
abstract: A 24-years old female patient with acute renal failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) accompanied by acute promielocytic leukemia (APL) is described. The typical for APL features of DIC was dominated by signs of shock, acute renal failure and acute respiratory failure. The absence of blasts in peripheral blood was the reason of diagnostic difficulties and delayed treatment of leukaemia.
