Key words: Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, Kidney, Renal failure, Abdominal pain

Kidney infiltration by blastic cells is a rare cause of renal failure and represents only 1% of renal failure during acute leukaemia. We report a case of a 10 years old girl, whose acute lymphoblastic leukaemiawas diagnosed because of abdominal pain, due to kidney enlargement (and capsular distension). The girl presented laboratory findings of acute renal failure.
