title: Acute kidney injury requiring dialysis: a very unusual presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
abstract: Acute kidney injury due to lymphomatous infiltration of the kidneys is uncommon, and it is rarely the initial manifestation of the lymphoma. Here, we present a case of lymphomatous infiltration of the kidneys resulting in acute kidney injury requiring dialysis, as the initial presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Renal biopsy established the diagnosis, and renal function completely recovered after chemotherapy.
