Abstract
HIV patients frequently develop acute kidney injury (AKI) because of sepsis and diarrhoeal disease. Here, we report a case of an HIV-positive man with partially treated sinonasal plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) and unexplained AKI. A kidney biopsy revealed two pathological processes.
Contribution: While urinary tract obstruction is the most common mechanism by which PBL causes AKI, maintaining a high level of suspicion for multiple pathological processes in cases involving light chain producing PBL.
由于败血症和腹泻病，艾滋病患者经常会出现急性肾损伤（AKI）。在此，我们报告了一例 HIV 阳性男性患者，他患有部分治疗的鼻窦浆细胞性淋巴瘤（PBL）和不明原因的急性肾损伤。肾活检发现了两种病理过程：贡献：虽然尿路梗阻是PBL导致AKI的最常见机制，但在涉及产生轻链的PBL的病例中，应高度怀疑多种病理过程。
