Abstract
A case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting with polyuria, enlarged ki dneys, and renal insufficiency is reported. The diagnosis was made by percutaneous needle biopsy of the kidney. Renal failure reversed and t he kidneys regressed in size on exhibition of the first cycle of chemo therapy. The rarity of polyuria at presentation, the role of renal bio psy in the diagnosis, and the response of renal failure to specific ch emotherapy are discussed.
