Article Synopsis
- Acute lymphoid leukemia is the most common cancer in children, but cases presenting with acute tubulointerstitial nephritis and kidney failure are very rare.
- In this case, the initial exams and ultrasound only suggested mild kidney issues, but lab results indicated acute renal failure, leading to a renal biopsy that revealed tubulointerstitial nephritis.
- After steroid treatment improved the patient's condition, they later returned with signs of leukemia, confirming the original biopsy showed T-cell acute lymphoid leukemia, emphasizing the critical role of renal biopsy in diagnosis.
