Introduction. Acute renal failure (ARF) develops in 33% of the patients with rhabdomyolysis. The main etiologic factors are alcoholism, trauma, exercise overexertion, and drugs. In this report we present a rare case of ARF secondary to probably donepezil-induced rhabdomyolysis.Case Presentation. An 84-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with a complaint of generalized weakness and reduced consciousness for two days. He had a history of Alzheimer’s disease for one year and he had taken donepezil 5 mg daily for two months. The patient’s physical examination revealed apathy, loss of cooperation, and decreased muscle strength. Laboratory studies revealed the following: urea: 128 mg/dL; Creatinine 6.06 mg/dL; creatine kinase: 3613 mg/dL. Donepezil was discontinued and the patient’s renal function tests improved gradually.Conclusion. Rhabdomyolysis-induced acute renal failure may develop secondary to donepezil therapy.

Abdominal gunshot injuries and its management has always been challenging for surgeons. Challenges start from diagnosis and extent of injury and its immediate management and further its long term complications and their management. Injuries extending up to retroperitoneal space complicated by abscess formation are difficult to manage because the retroperitoneal space is relatively inaccessible leading to very poor outcome, and a tailor made approach is the best method of treatment for an individual patient. Current study report a rare case of video assisted approach for non-resolving retro-peritoneal abscess caused by abdominal gunshot injury with previous laparotomy and unilateral nephrectomy (left-side) with retro-peritoneal abscess along with sepsis, acute renal failure and hemopneumothorax.

Pulmonary thromboembolism is a clinical and pathophysiological condition caused by occlusion of pulmonary arteries by thrombotic embolus. Deep venous thrombosis needn't necessarily be evident. Acute renal insufficiency is a syndrome manifested by rapid decrease or even complete urinary retention which may be due to obturation of renal arteries by a thrombus. The condition is clinically manifested by hematuria, oliguria, anuria and death due to uremia. Case Report The patient had a history of disease and a chest X-ray finding both irrelevant for establishing the working diagnosis. Blood gas analysis presented prominent hypoxemia with hyperventilation and ECG finding exhibited right heart overload, pointing to pulmonary thromboembolism. On the third day of treatment with heparin, the patient developed hematuria, oliguria and excessive elevation of nitrogen in blood as a sign of acute renal insufficiency, leading to fatal outcome. Autopsy revealed deep venous thrombosis of the left femoral vein, with massive pulmonary thromboembolism and thrombosis of both femoral arteries, inducing acute renal failure. Discussion Although the patient had a typical radiologic presentation of pulmonary thromboembolism, treatment with heparin was initiated on the basis of his blood gas analysis and ECG findings. Deep venous thrombosis was not clinically evident and acute renal failure could not be explained during patient's lifetime. Conclusion This is a rare case of acute renal failure due to a rare occurrence of bilateral acute thrombosis of renal arteries.

Spinal surgery–associated rhabdomyolysis, although rare, is a life-threatening condition. Presented here is the case of a middle-aged, overweight man who underwent posterior lumbar surgery because of pain and neurogenic claudication. His postoperative course was complicated by the occurrence of rhabdomyolysis. Despite adequate treatment, acute renal failure developed as a sequela. His condition was grave enough to require the administration of intermittent hemodialysis. After a prolonged hospitalization and 5 sessions of hemodialysis, the patient achieved a full recovery. In view of the fact that rhabdomyolysis-induced acute renal failure is associated with a mortality rate of 20–50%, the outcome was favorable.

AbstractWe report a rare case of spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture following normal vaginal delivery without concomitant uterine rupture. Key diagnostic clinical features were acute renal failure, new-onset ascites and bowel ileus with urosepsis. Laparotomy and bladder repair with omentum patch were performed with no adverse outcome reported.
