Renal infarction is a rare emergency and the estimated incidence is extremely low according to the literature. In addition, simultaneous bilateral renal infarction was only about 20% in these rare cases. Herein we reported a case of acute renal failure related to bilateral renal infarction and successfully treated by endovascular therapy including angioplasty and catheter-directed thrombolysis. His renal function also significantly improved after the intervention. This rare case reminds physician that early endovascular therapy might improve renal function and result in better renal outcome for patients with simultaneous bilateral renal infarction.

Objective To present a case of nafcillin-induced interstitial nephritis. Methodology Case report and literature review. Setting Hospital. Results Three days following initiation of nafcillin therapy for staphylococcal pneumonia, an 80-year-old woman developed allergic manifestations and progressive renal impairment suggestive of acute allergic interstitial nephritis. These manifestations were completely reversed within 96 hours of cessation of nafcillin therapy. Conclusions In the clinical setting of acute renal failure in a patient on nafcillin therapy, acute interstitial nephritis should be considered. Prompt cessation of nafcillin therapy has generally been associated with reversal of symptoms and an improvement in renal function.

History Of

Bilateral hydronephrosis secondary to urinary obstruction leads to a buildup of back pressure in the urinary tract and may lead to impairment of renal function. We present a case of a 57-year-old male with a history of alcoholic liver cirrhosis, who presented with tense ascites and acute renal failure. Bilateral hydronephrosis was seen on abdominal ultrasound. Multiple large-volume paracenteses resulted in resolution of hydronephrosis and prompt improvement in renal function.

Review Of The Literature

Phenazopyridine is a commonly used urinary analgesic available throughout the United States. Ingestion of large quantities can lead to methemoglobinemia, hemolytic anemia, jaundice, and acute renal failure. We report a case of a 78-year-old male with previously normal renal function who developed acute renal failure and jaundice without methemoglobinemia or hyperbilirubinemia after taking nearly 8 g of phenazopyridine over the course of 4 days. Initially presenting with oliguria, the urine output began to increase by day 2 of his admission, and the creatinine peaked 11 days after he began taking phenazopyridine, and he was discharged safely soon after. To our knowledge, this is the first such case of renal failure and jaundice without methemoglobinemia or hemolytic anemia in an adult patient with normal renal function.

AbstractThe outcome of patients with crescentic nephritis and the presence of both ANCA and anti GBM disease (double positive disease) is controversial. Initial data supported the view that this condition has a more favorable prognosis than anti GBM disease but larger and more recent series found much worse renal outcome especially in patients with severe renal failure requiring dialysis. We present a case with severe renal failure due to double positive disease who recovered renal function with aggressive immunosuppression including steroids, cyclophosphamide and plasma exchange.

ABSTRACT We describe the case of a 68-year-old patient who was admitted to the trauma unit with anisocoria after pre-hospital resuscitation upon loss of consciousness. An intracranial bleeding was ruled out. The patient was admitted to the cardiology ward with the initial diagnosis of a syncope due to myocarditis, as myocardial necrosis markers were slightly elevated. The suspicion of an acute aortic dissection (AAD) was raised when the patient developed kidney failure and a progressive aortic regurgitation. He underwent emergency surgery for an acute type A AAD. Renal function recovered completely and, fortunately, the patient was discharged 10 days later.
