| Abstract |
Acute renal failure may complicate the course of a hematologic malignancy but is a highly unusual finding in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Kidney biopsy is rarely performed in this setting, and the pathologic substrate underlying kidney injury is not well identified. We present a case of a biopsy-proven acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis due to massive infiltration of neoplastic myelomonocytic cells. Since the leukemic process involving the kidney may respond favorably to treatment, a renal biopsy should be considered in any patient presenting with unexplained severe or evolving kidney disease. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 January 2016.
All research outputs
#22,759,802
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Nephrology and Renovascular Disease
#223
of 258 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#337,486
of 395,418 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Nephrology and Renovascular Disease
#4
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 258 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 395,418 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
