Diffusely enlarged nonhydronephrotic kidneys on ultrasound and computer-tomographic examination in a case of progressive preterminal renal insufficiency were very suggestive of extensive lymphomatous infiltration. Diffuse infiltration of the kidney by centrocytic/centroblastic non-Hodgkin lymphoma was confirmed upon renal biopsy. No other localizations of lymphoma could be found. After four courses of CHOP chemotherapy there was a complete remission of this primary renal non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with complete recovery of renal function.

We present a patient with hypouricemia associated with Hodgkin's disease. Serum uric acid level ranged from 1.4 to 2.2 mg/dl and fractional excretion of uric acid was 26.5%. No other renal tubular abnormalities were found. The pyrazinamide suppression test came off normal. However, during the benzbromarone test, the uricosuric response was reduced. The abnormal renal handling of urate became normal following therapy of Hodgkin's disease. The findings suggest that hypouricemia in Hodgkin's disease is caused by an impairment of postsecretory tubular reabsorption of uric acid.

We describe the first association between Hodgkin's lymphoma and Wegener's granulomatosis, heralded by renal involvement. A 43-year-old man developed rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis requiring chronic hemodialysis 8 months after remission of Hodgkin's lymphoma. At that moment, no extrarenal involvement was found, despite extensive investigation. Antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies were positive, without specificity for proteinase-3 or myeloperoxydase. Six months after beginning hemodialysis, multiple pulmonary nodules appeared, along with rapid clinical worsening. A surgical biopsy was performed which disclosed a giant cell granuloma. Antimyeloperoxydase antibodies remained negative, whereas proteinase-3 antibodies became positive. Wegener's granulomatosis was diagnosed and treatment with cyclophosphamide and steroids was started. Clinical and radiological improvement occurred promptly. Eleven months after treatment, both Wegener's disease and Hodgkin's lymphoma remained in remission.

A 61-year-old man developed steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in which renal biopsy showed membranous nephropathy. Six months after the initial presentation, nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease was diagnosed. Cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisolone and procariazine chemotherapy was administered, after which proteinuria gradually decreased resulting in complete remission in the course of 7 months. A second renal biopsy, which was undertaken 4 months after complete remission, revealed significant histological improvement with disappearance of immune deposit.
