Abstract
- Acute uric acid nephropathy is a kind of acute renal failure and results from uric acid crystal deposition within the collecting ducts and the distal tubules due to rapid increase of serum uric acid concentration. Hyperuricemia can be, in the relation to the underlying physiology, clas sified into the three categories. i.e., increased urate pro duction, decreased uric acid excretion, or a combination of the two. It is most commonly presented in the lympho proliferative or myeloproliferative disorders after effective cytolytic chemotherapy in the form of tumor lysis syn drome. But we have recently experienced a case of a 73 year-old female patient with acute lymphoblastic leuke mia whose first presentation was acute uric acid nephrop athy, spontaneously developed without chemotherapy and so report it with review of related literatures.
