Wasp Stings

The skin is the most commonly affected organ. Wasp venom causes both local and systemic reactions, but acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most serious complication, with a 20% mortality rate. Acute kidney injury can occur from single or multiple stings. Diagnosis depends on history, clinical findings, and investigations. Treatment protocol is same as other causes of AKI, including dialysis, and prognosis is good with early treatment.

Decompression sickness is a disease caused by abrupt pressure change and presents various symptoms. To date, acute kidney injury associated with decompression sickness has been reported frequently, but there is no report of hepatic infarction associated with decompression sickness. We report a case of acute kidney injury and acute hepatic infarction treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy and dialysis in a patient with severe decompression sickness after work diving.

Acute Decompensation

This is a case report of a girl with glutaric acidemia type I (GA-I) who experienced rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury (AKI). Her first acute metabolic crisis occurred at the age of 5 months, which mainly manifested as irritable crying, poor appetite, and hyperlactatemia. Mutation analysis showed 2 pathogenic mutations in the glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) gene, which were c.383G>A (p.R128Q) and c.873delC (p.N291Kfs*41), the latter of which is a novel frameshift mutation of GA-I. She had a febrile illness at the age of 12 months, followed by AKI and severe rhabdomyolysis. Four days of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) helped to overcome this acute decompensation. This case report describes a novel mutation in the GCDH gene, that is, c.873delC (p.N291Kfs*41). Also, it highlights the fact that patients with GA-I have a high risk of rhabdomyolysis and AKI, which may be induced by febrile diseases and hyperosmotic dehydration; CVVHDF can help to overcome this acute decompensation.

Successful Recovery

Oliguric acute kidney injury due to traumatic rhabdomyolysis can be potentially lethal if the proper medical therapy combined with extracorporeal detoxification is not performed. Different extracorporeal techniques are available to overcome this syndrome. Here, we report the first case of removal of myoglobin and successful recovery from acute kidney injury in an elderly septic patient using supra-hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion technique (HFR-Supra) combined with the medical therapy.

New Onset

We report the case of a 71-year-old female who was incidentally found to have nonoliguric acute kidney injury on a routine workup for new-onset visual hallucination. Further history revealed inadvertent usage of nitrofurantoin for 3 months for an anticipated urological procedure. Renal biopsy demonstrated acute granulomatous interstitial nephritis. The renal function significantly improved following discontinuation of nitrofurantoin and corticosteroid administration. We highlight a rare association of nitrofurantoin with acute granulomatous interstitial nephritis through this case report.
