Abstract
The paper presents an assessment of treatment efficacy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia CLL patients according to chemotherapy type and initial renal function. The high efficacy of chemotherapy with fludarabine in CLL patients with or without renal failure at diagnosis was revealed. However, regardless of chemotherapy type initial treatment response was worse in patients with renal failure.
