Acute kidney injury in an HIV patient with plasmablastic lymphoma – A double-edged sword

Acute kidney injury in an HIV patient with plasmablastic lymphoma – A double-edged sword

HIV patients frequently develop acute kidney injury (AKI) because of sepsis and diarrhoeal disease. Here, we report a case of an HIV-positive man with partially treated sinonasal plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) and unexplained AKI. A kidney biopsy revealed two pathological processes.\r\n\r\nContributio...

Zusammenfassung:HIV patients frequently develop acute kidney injury (AKI) because of sepsis and diarrhoeal disease. Here, we report a case of an HIV-positive man with partially treated sinonasal plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) and unexplained AKI. A kidney biopsy revealed two pathological processes.\r\n\r\nContribution\r\nWhile urinary tract obstruction is the most common mechanism by which PBL causes AKI, maintaining a high level of suspicion for multiple pathological processes in cases involving light chain producing PBL.\r\n
