Abstract

We report a 64-year-old man who was referred with gross hematuria and acute renal failure. Initial laboratory data showed marked lymphocytosis. A diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia was made by bone marrow biopsy. In the mean time, kidney biopsy showed crescentic glomerulonephritis and interstitial infiltration with leukemic cells. To our knowledge, there are only three previous reports of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis that occurred simultaneously with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
