Abstract
Nephrology is a new discipline in sub-Saharan Africa. For a better management of various nephropathies, histological data are necessary in terms of diagnosis, therapy as well as prognosis. However, performing renal needle biopsy is very challenging. We are reporting inadequacy of human, material and financial resources for histological data collection through a case of 21-yearold patient with lymphoma complicated by acute renal failure (ARF).
