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.
