Renal involvement in patients with lymphoma is rare but associated with poor prognosis. We analyzed characteristics and outcome of 22 patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and renal involvement treated with a rituximab-containing regimen in curative intent. The majority of patients presented in advanced disease, 86% were Ann Arbor stage >= III and had an IPI score >= 3. Renal impairment was present in 32%. Outcome was poor with three-year progression-free survival (PFS) 44% and three-year overall survival (OS) 52% and significantly worse compared to DLBCL without renal involvement (p < 0.01). Patients with high risk IPI had a significantly inferior prognosis compared to intermediate-risk IPI (three-year OS 0% vs. 75%, p = 0.01) as did those with renal impairment. A high rate of central nervous system (CNS) relapse (8/22) was observed. Intravenous high-dose methotrexate and intrathecal therapy showed a trend toward prolonged time to CNS relapse. Implementation of CNS prophylaxis might therefore be considered in these high-risk patients.
