Resumo

Two cases of acute uric acid nephropathy complicating acute leukaemia are described.Some observations have been made which bear on the use of the xanthine oxidase inhibitor allopurinol in the management of acute uric acid nephropathy.Allopurinol restricts the formation of uric acid in acute leukaemia, but to be effective in reducing the risk of acute uric acid nephropathy it must be given before chemotherapy is begun.The patients were under the care of Sir Ronald Bodley Scott, K.C.V.O., and we are pleased to acknowledge our indebtedness to him for allowing us to study them, and for his help and encouragement.
