| الوصف: | Background: Although renal complications are well-known in hematological malignancies, they occur mostly after initiation of steroids and chemotherapy. We describe an unusual scenario of isolated renal complications as a presenting feature in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Clinical Description: A 2-year-old girl presented with abdominal distension due to bilateral palpable renal masses associated with stage 2 hypertension. Investigations revealed ALL and impaired renal functions with enlarged kidneys on ultrasound, with no involvement of any other organ or lymph node. Management and Outcome: She required three antihypertensives for normalizing her blood pressure (BP). After initiation of chemotherapy, BP improved, kidney sizes reduced, and acute kidney injury resolved. Conclusion: Renal functions, BP and imaging for kidney sizes should not be missed in the initial work-up in children with ALL. |
