Background: Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a life-threatening and scarce disorder characterized by acute renal failure and disease, non-immune microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia, leading to end-stage renal failure or death, and consequently maybe accompanying by extra renal manifestations. Case report: We reported aHUS accompanied by autoimmune hemolytic anemi...

BACKGROUND Reflex anuria is an uncommon cause for acute renal failure, which occurs almost always after manipulation or irritation to kidneys, ureter, bladder or other pelvic organs. CASE PRESENTATION Here we describe a case of acute renal failure due to reflex anuria following acute cardiac event. This patient had background history of urolithiasis. In the absence of other pre renal, renal o...

BACKGROUND Calciphylaxis following acute renal failure is rare. FINDINGS We report A 57-year-old male with an acute renal failure associated with necrotizing fasciitis. We also review the cases of calciphylaxis due to acute renal disorder further. CONCLUSIONS It should be kept in mind that calciphylaxis is observed in patient with not only chronic renal disease but also acute renal failure.

Acute renal failure with severe loin pain which develops after anaerobic exercise is rare. One of predisposing factors of exercise-induced acute renal failure is renal hypouricemia. Idiopathic renal hypouricemia is a genetic disorder characterized by hypouricemia with abnormally high renal tubular uric acid excretion. The mutation in SCL22A12 gene which encodes renal uric acid transporter, URAT...

A 42-year-old woman with a history of depression and epilepsy ingested two types of household detergent and developed gastrointestinal symptoms, and subsequently acute renal failure. Coingestants included nontoxic quantities of paracetamol and therapeutic doses of sodium valproate and fluoxetine. The patient developed acute renal failure, and also had fever and unilateral ear inflammation. The ...

Acute renal failure is a rare complication of retrograde pyelography. We demonstrate a patient who experienced acute renal failure induced by bilateral retrograde pyelography. The possible mechanisms, including renal and post-renal causes, are also discussed. Post-obstructive diuretic phase after early urinary diversion is an evidence of obstructive renal failure. Early urinary diversion also s...

abstract the prevalence of bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ssnhl) is less than 5% and the etiology of most cases is unknown. due to many structural and functional similarities between the kidney and inner ear, many conditions, diseases, and drugs have both renal and cochlear effects and toxicities. there are several reports of ssnhl in patients with crf, uraemic patient, hemodialys...

introduction: osteodystrophy is one of the long term complications of chronic renal failure and is expressed in two formslow turn over and high turn over. it is an important cause of morbidity in patients with renal failure and if diagnosed and managed properly, many problems of these patients can be resolved. in this study we evaluated the prevalence of hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis pati...

AbstractThe prevalence of bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is less than 5% and the etiology of most cases is unknown. Due to many structural and functional similarities between the kidney and inner ear, many conditions, diseases, and drugs have both renal and cochlear effects and toxicities. There are several reports of SSNHL in patients with CRF, uraemic patient, hemodialysi...
