Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome에 합병되어 나타난 급성 신부전증 1예 = Acute Renal Failure, a Sequela of the Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome(NMS) is an uncommon but fatal idiosyncratic reaction to neuroleptics. It comprises fever, muscular rigidity, altered consciousness and autonomic dysfunction. The most common serious complications of NMS is rhabdomyolysis, which produces acute myoglobinuric renal failure.
The authors experienced a schizophrenic male patient with acute renal failure as a sequela of NMS. The patient was 27-year-old man who had received haloperidol for 9 years. Emergency hemodialysis, hydration and diuretics promoted recovery of impaired renal function. The patient survived the acute episode of NMS without any sequela and resumed his treatment with neuroleptics.
