Unusual Coincidence: Concurrent Cast Nephropathy and Lymphoma Infiltration in an Influenza A-Associated Acute Kidney Injury

Acute kidney injury (AKI) poses a substantial challenge in the management of lymphoma patients and is frequently associated with diverse causative factors. Herein, we report an illustrative case involving a 47-year-old male with influenza A infection who developed severe AKI, which was incongruent w...

description Acute kidney injury (AKI) poses a substantial challenge in the management of lymphoma patients and is frequently associated with diverse causative factors. Herein, we report an illustrative case involving a 47-year-old male with influenza A infection who developed severe AKI, which was incongruent with his medical history. Laboratory investigations disclosed aberrant immunoglobulin levels and urinary protein excretion, prompting further evaluation. A renal biopsy revealed the presence of infiltrating lymphoid cells and cast nephropathy, raising suspicion of an underlying hematological disorder. A comprehensive diagnostic workup, including positron emission tomography imaging and bone marrow biopsy, culminated in the definitive diagnosis of splenic marginal zone lymphoma. This case highlights the crucial significance of including lymphoma-associated kidney disorders in the evaluation of unexplained AKI, particularly when encountering unconventional clinical and laboratory results. Swift and precise intervention is of utmost importance in attaining positive results in these rare and complex clinical situations. This study underscores the persistent concern of AKI in lymphoma patients, with lymphocytic infiltration and cast nephropathy as notable elements contributing to the intricate nature of this condition.
