| Title | Acute renal failure due to primary bilateral renal large B-cell lymphoma: diagnostics and follow-up by FDG-PET/CT. | | Author(s) | Reuter S, Rahbar K, Busch V, Hillebrand U, Velden J, Pavenstädt H, Schober O, Stegger L | | Institution | Department of Medicine D, University of Münster, Münster, Germany. sreuter@uni-muenster.de | | Source | Clin Nucl Med 2009 Oct; 34(10):722-4. | | Abstract | Acute renal failure (ARF) due to bilateral parenchymal infiltration of a high grade malignant non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma is exceptional. Early identification of this pathology causing ARF is critical as early induction therapy with cyclophosphamide and prednisone often leads to a substantial recovery of kidney function. This striking case illustrates the usefulness of noninvasive fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography as a functional imaging modality demonstrating not only the cause of unexplained ARF but also its convenience for the restaging management of non-Hodgkin lymphomas during complete remission. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
