Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a variety of chronic
lymphoproliferative disorders. It is characterized by a progressive accumulation of monoclonal incompetent lymphocytes and is similar to peripheral B-cell neoplasm small
lymphocytic lymphoma [1]. Although leukaemic infiltration
of the kidney is relatively common in CLL, acute renal failure
(ARF) due to leukaemic infiltration is extremely rare [2].
Herein, we report a patient who presented with ARF caused
by leukaemic infiltration of the kidneys in previously nonexistent CLL and was treated with chemotherapy successfully
