Three patients with acute lymphatic leukaemia who presented with non-oliguric acute renal failure resulting from leukaemic infiltration of the kidneys are reported. Chemotherapy resulted in clinical remission of leukaemia with regression of renal size and prompt improvement in renal function in two cases. The third patient died on the second day of therapy and a post-mortem renal biopsy revealed dense leukaemic infiltration of the kidneys. Early institution of specific chemotherapy for leukaemia, maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance, and dialytic support whenever indicated may prove helpful in prevention of serious complications associated with renal failure and in halting further ischaemic injury to the kidney.
