Abstract
Vasculitis is an uncommon paraneoplastic syndrome, and acute renal failure is an unusual presentation of leukemia. We report a case of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia that presented with acute renal failure, caused by bio psy-proven lymphocytic vasculitis that subsequently was shown to be T-cell- mediated and systemic at autopsy.
