Abstract: In this paper we prove the existence of a renormalized solution to a class of nonlinear elliptic problems whose prototype is

$ (P)$ $ \displaystyle \left\{\begin{array}{ll} - \bigtriangleup _p u -\hbox{div }(c(x)... ... & \hbox{in} ~ \Omega,  u=0 & \hbox{on} ~ \partial\Omega, \end{array}\right. $

where $ \Omega $ is a bounded open subset of $ \mathbb{R}^N$, $ N\geq 2$, $ \bigtriangleup _p$ is the so-called $ p-$Laplace operator, $ 1< p< N$, $ \mu$ is a Radon measure with bounded variation on $ \Omega $, $ 0\le\gamma\le p-1$, $ 0\le\lambda\le p-1$, and $ \vert c\vert$ and $ b$ belong to the Lorentz spaces $ L^{\frac{N}{p-1},r}(\Omega) $, $ \frac{N}{p-1}\leq r \leq +\infty$, and $ L^{N,1}(\Omega)$, respectively. In particular we prove the existence under the assumptions that $ \gamma=\lambda=p-1$, $ \vert c\vert$ belongs to the Lorentz space $ L^{\frac{N}{p-1},r}(\Omega)$, $ \frac{N}{p-1}\leq r<+\infty$, and $ \Vert c\Vert _{ L^{\frac{N}{p-1},r}(\Omega)}$ is small enough.
