Objectives: The pathogenesis of acute renal failure developed after snake bite has been variously attributed to the direct renal damage by the venoms, and the secondary effects of disseminated intravascular coagulation, shock, intravascular hemolysis, the defibrination syndrome, and myoglobinuria. We analysed the thirteen cases of renal involvement after snake bite to elucidate possible causes and clinical characteristics of acute renal failure. Method: We reviewed the clinical symptoms, physical examination, laboratory data, and renal biopsies (two cases) in the 13 cases of acute renal failure developed after snake bite among 195 cases during the recent 10 years, Results: 1) The sex ratio of the patients with acute renal failure after snake bite (man: woman) was 1:5.5, presenting female predominance. Most of the cases were over 50 years of age covering more than 90% of the total snake bite cases 2) As respects to the time elapse from the snake bite to the hospital care, four cases were within 1 hour, two cases were within 1~2 hours, two cases were within 3~12 hours, and the rest of them (ten cases) were within 24 hours. 3) The systemic symptoms and signs of snake bite are as follows: nausea, vomiting, dyspnea, macroscopic hematuria, dizziness, headache, altered consciousness, and visual disturbance. Most of the patients complained of localized edema and pain around the wound of snake bite. Oliguria was noted in four patients, and it lasted for 13 days in average. 4) On admission, urinalysis of the patients with acute renal failure showed proteinuria (ten cases) and hematuria (six cases). Most of the patients with renal failure had hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, elevated SGOT and LDH. The serum BUN and creatinine levels were elevated (more than 2.0 mg/dl and 4.2 mg/dl, respectively) above the normal range. 5) Renal biopsy performed in two cases of convalescent stage showed the findings of acute tubular necrosis with intact glomeruli. 6) Hemodialysis was performed in six patients out of thirteen cases of acute renal failure. 7) Of the thirteen patients with renal failure after snake bite, eight patients improved. But five patients were discharged against our will. All but one (self discharged) of the six patients with hemodialysis were discharged with clinical improvement. Conclusions: Acute renal failure caused by snake bite is not uncommon in Korea. We analysed the thirteen cases of snake bite with acute renal failure that revealed direct renal tubular necrosis on biopsy. And we speculate that the renal damage may be caused by the nephrotoxin of the venom. It is suggested that immediate intervention and preventive measures for renal failure after snake bite are needed.

Urinary tract infection is one of the causes of acute renal failure. But it has been reported rarely, so we must consider another etiologies before diagnoses. Abdominal ultrasonogram is a good non-invasive technique for radiologic diagnosis or for differential diagnosis, but it`s possible that tiny abscesses and small lesions of focal bacterial nephritis might be missed CT is the best radiologic method to diagnose renal lesion, especially acute bacterial nephritis. Nevertheless, CT has several problems, including contrast-induced nephropathy, exposure to radiation. We experienced a severe form of anuric acuric acute renal failure secondary to acute bacterial nephritis due to E, coli infection, The patient`s renal lession was not visualized on the ultrasonogram and his uremic symptom was severe. So we decided to do a kidney biopsy to find another possible cause of acute renal failure. The renal biopsy finding showed acute bacterial nephritis, and abdominal CT reconfirmed it. His serum creatinine increased to a maximum 8.5 ㎎/dL, but decreased to 1.24 ㎎/dL through continuous antibiotic therapy. We emphasize that urinary tract infection is not a rare cause of acute renal failure any more, and that positive diagnositic approaches, including kidney biopsy, are important for accurate and early diagnosis.

Acute renal injury induced by ischemia is a major cause of high morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients and a common complication in hospitalized patients. Thus, the work with acute renal failure and renal ischemia has been studied for many years. Although serum creatinine concentration that is widely used as an index of renal function performs fairly well for estimating kidney function in patients with stable chronic kidney disease, it performs poorly in the setting of acute disease. Thus, an ideal biomarker for acute kidney injury would help clinicians and scientists diagnose the most common form of acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients, acute tubular necrosis, early and accurately, and may aid to risk-stratify patients with acute kidney injury by predicting the need for renal replacement therapy, the duration of acute kidney injury, the length of stay and mortality. In this study, renal ischemia and reperfusion were performed by clapming and un-clamping right renal artery in miniature pigs. Plasma blood urea nitrogen (BUN)and creatinine were examined at pre- clamping, after-clamping at 0, 1 and 3 hours. And we searched initial indicators in these samples. Also, renal tissue was collected and searched the initial indicator by PCR and western blotting. As a result, hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF1α), nuclear factor kappa-B (NFκB), IκB, erythropoietin (EPO), erythropoietin receptor (EPOR), angiopoietin-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were showed significant changes among the renal protein. HIF1α, EPO, and EPOR were showed significant changes among the renal gene. Thus, these markers will be used as initial diagnosis of acute renal failure.

Background: Renal failure is one of the most common side effects of mannitol. However, very little is known regarding the cause, incidence, risk factors, and outcome of mannitol-induced renal failure. The goal of this study is to determine the predicting factors of mannitol-induced renal failure. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all ischemic stroke patients who were treated with mannitol due to brain edema from January 2008 to December 2010 at Chosun university hospital. From among 125 patients, 25 patients who received mannitol for less than 3 days were excluded and 100 patients were selected. Furthermore, 15% or 25% mannitol was administered intravenously as an intermittent bolus and the maximum dose was less than 200 g/day. Renal failure was defined as an increase in the creatinine level of > 0.5 mg/dL if the baseline value was < 2 mg/dL or an increase in the creatinine level of > 1 mg/dL if the baseline value was > 2 mg/dL. Results: Fourteen patients (14%) were diagnosed as having mannitol-induced renal failure. Glucose level before the use of mannitol and peak osmolality during mannitol treatment were associated with renal failure in univariate analysis. In logistic regression analysis of suspected factors (P<0.1), independent predictive factors of mannitol-induced renal failure were glucose level before the use of mannitol, (odd ratio, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.00–1.03; P<0.043) and peak osmolality (odds ratio, 1.04; 95% confidence interval, 1.01–1.08, P=0.01). Conclusions: Strict glucose control before mannitol treatment may reduce the rate of occurrence of renal failure. However, the rate of recovery from renal failure was not confirmed in our study because of the short follow up period.

Severe acute pancreatitis occurs in about 20% of patients with acute pancreatitis and can be associated with multiorgan failure. Acute renal failure caused by severe acute pancreatitis not only aggravates pancreatitis but also increases patient mortality. Peritoneal exudate contains many toxic substances such as amylase, lipase, phospholipase-A, trypsinogen, prostaglandins, kinin forming enzymes, and histamine releasing factor. Upon entering the circulation, these substances can cause complications, which are responsible for the majority of early deaths. This said, peritoneal dialysis is indicated to remove toxic materials from the peritoneal cavity and to manage acute renal failure. We report three acute peritoneal dialysis cases in acute renal failure associated with severe acute pancreatitis.

We have described a male patient with a episode of acute renal failure after strenuous exercise. He was found to have low serum uric acid(0.6 mg/dL, after recovery) and normal 24 hour urinary excretion in the steady state. The possibility of other diseases that cause hypouricemia could be excluded, acute renal failure associated with idiopathic renal hypouricemia was diagnosed in this case. A renal computed tomography showed the delayed wedge shaped contrast enhancement, these findings suggested that the cause of acute renal failure could be renal vasoconstriction rather than obstruction by uric acid crystals. Hypouricemia appear to play a crucial role in this reperfusion oxygen free radical induced acute renal failure. We have suggested that the renal hypouricemia should be suspected in the case of acute renal failure associated with exercise when the patient's uric acid level was within or slight alone normal range at the time of acute renal failure.

Viral hepatitis A is considered to be a self-limited disease without clinical sequel. Among the extrahepatic complication of acute viral A hepatitis, severe hemolysis and acute renal failure have been rarely reported. In Korea, a hemolytic anemia after hepatitis A infection was reported in a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency patient, but the hemolytic anemia in a normal G6PD patient has not been reported yet. G6PD deficiency is the most common enzyme deficiency and it causes a spectrum of disease including neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, acute hemolysis, and chronic hemolysis. We describe a normal G6PD patient with acute hepatitis A who developed severe hemolytic anemia and acute renal failure. A 42-year-old male patient was transferred to our hospital for treatment of severe anemia and acute renal failure. He did not have any underlying disease and did not take a medication. Laboratory results were compatible with hemolytic anemia, however the additional studies for differential diagnosis of hemolytic anemia including glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase status, showed normal results. He was diagnosed with acute hepatitis A complicated by severe hemolytic anemia and acute renal failure, and recovered spontaneously with only supportive care. We recently experienced the normal G6PD patient with acute hemolytic anemia and acute renal failure, therefore, we report a case of such experience.

Purpose: Rhabdomyolysis is one of the most important complications of pesticide intoxication. It affects a patient's clinical prognosis and can cause acute renal failure. It is important that patients diagnosed with pesticide intoxication receive an accurate initial diagnosis and proper treatment to prevent significant complications. This study's objective was to investigate and confirm related factors causing acute renal failure by verifying clinical observations and laboratory findings collected following pesticide intoxication. Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of 734 patients who presenting to our emergency medical center after ingesting pesticides between January 2006 and December 2008, Of these, 513 patients were selected for the study. Two hundred and twenty-one patients were excluded because of paraquat intoxication, age (if under 18), or chronic renal failure. Seventy-four patients were diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, based on serum creatinine phosphokinase levels were > 1,000U/L. Acute renal failure was diagnosed when creatinine levels were > 2.0 mg/dL. Results: Among the 74 patients diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, 26 (35.1%) experienced acute renal failure. The most meaningful related factor in the prediction of acute renal failure was initial arterial pH and creatinine level. Conclusion: Initial arterial pH and creatinine level are predictors of complications such as acute renal failure in patients with rhabdomyolysis.

Acute multifocal bacterial nephritis is a severe form of acute renal infection in which heavy leucocytic infiltrates occurs throughout kidney. Therefore, in contrast to uncomplicated acute pyelonephritis, it frequently causes acute renal failure. We here report an unusual case of acute multifocal bacterial nephritis which caused acute real failure and massive proteinuria. A 44-year old man was referred to our hospital because of high fever and both flank pain and non-oliguric acute renal failure. He had pyuria and massive proteinuria(5.87g/day), and serum creatinine level of 3.6mg/dL. We initially suspected hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. But immunofluorescent antibody for Hantavirus was negative and E. coli was isolated at urine. Computed tomography showed multifocal areas of wedge-shaped low densities in both kidneys. Kidney biopsy revealed tubulointerstitial infiltration of leucocyte without glomerular change. After treatment of antibiotics, proteinuria completely disappeared and serum creatinine level decreased to 1.0mg/dL. (Korean J Med 57:375-379, 1999)

The most of mushroom poisoning manifests self-limited features including gastrointestinal symptoms. However some kinds of mushrooms including Amanita phalloides can be seriously toxic and even be fatal. Although some cases in terms of mushroom poisoning have been reported in Korea, the most of them makes reports on the other types of mushrooms especially Amanita virosa. A case report of acute renal failure complicated by Amanita phalloides poisoning may not be found in Korea so far. A 55 year-old man admitted hospital because of oliguria and nausea. He ingested wild mushroom 5 days before admission. Identification of ingested mushroom was made by a pictorial directory. Laboratory findings showed an elevation of BUN and serum creatinine suggesting acute renal failure. Emergency hemodialysis was performed and maintained for a period of three weeks. Kidney biopsy made on 12th hospital day showed detachments of epithelial cells and inflammatory cells infiltrations with edema in interstitium suggesting acute interstitial nephritis and acute tubular necrosis. From 25th hospital day, no more hemodialysis was offered with a recovery of renal function. Patient discharged on 35th hospital day with a nearly stable renal function. I hereby report a case of acute renal failure complicated by Amanita phalloides poisoning with review of literature.
