Elucidation of Acute Renal Failure Due to Recurrent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma by F-18 FDG PET/CT

Renal impairment secondary to lymphomatous parenchymal infiltration is uncommon. Early recognition of this cause of acute renal failure (ARF) is important as initiation of steroid therapy often results in rapid improvement in renal function. We highlight the usefulness of the functional aspect F-18 FDG PET/CT in demonstrating the cause of unexplained ARF in a patient with recurrent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) due to a combination of unilateral...
