Renal ultrasound and CT of the abdomen showed renal parenchymal infiltration, and renal biopsy demonstrated T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. LA, ARF and electrolyte abnormalities were refractory to the initial treatment of bicarbonate infusion and hydration. However, these abnormalities rapidly normalised after the initiation of chemotherapy, suggesting that the LA and ARF were secondary to lymphomatous renal infiltration.}, URL = {https://casereports.bmj.com/content/2014/bcr-2014-205044}, eprint = {https://casereports.bmj.com/content/2014/bcr-2014-205044.full.pdf}, journal = {Case Reports} }
