Diffuse Large B cell lymphoma with symptoms of renal failure at initial presentation

We here report a case of Diffuse Large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with symptoms of renal failure at initial presentation. Patient was diagnosed following renal biopsy and treatment included several cycles of R-CHOP regimen. Patient initially responded well to treatment and renal function normalized over the course of treatment but relapsed soon after with CNS involvement. We conclude from our experience that treatment of DLBCL presenting with renal failure is complicated by aggressive nature of the disease, extra nodal organ involvement and likely subclinical metastasis at presentation.
