[Acute anuric renal failure caused by hyperphosphoremia in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. 3 cases].

Abstract

Nephrocalcinosis due to hyperphosphataemia with hypocalcaemia is a rare cause of ARF during chemotherapy of ALL. Three cases are reported, one with renal anatomopathological studies and microanalysis of the intratubular calculi. All possible preventive measures should be taken against this complication which is related to acute tumoral lysis, especially in the hyperleukocytic and/or tumoral forms of ALL.
