H1N1 Induced Acute Renal Failure
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Acute renal failure (ARF) is a rare phenomenon when it occurs with viral infections. Most of these cases are seen in critically ill patients and result in negative outcomes due to multiple organs involved with associated hypotensive shock that is one one the major contributors to acute tubular necrosis [11]. We are reporting a case of a young non-pregnant female who developed swine flu and had multisystem organ failure requiring mechanical ventilation. She developed acute renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy and aggressive supportive care. Her kidney function recovered over 6 weeks ending the need of hemodialysis (HD).
