Intratubular crystallization of calcium oxalate as a result of hyperoxaluria can cause acute renal failure. This type of renal failure is known as oxalate nephropathy. Hyperoxaluria occurs as a result of inherited enzymatic defici...
متن کاملOxalate Nephropathy After Continuous Infusion of High-Dose Vitamin C as an Adjunct to Burn Resuscitation
Fluid resuscitation is the foundation of management in burn patients and is the topic of considerable research. One adjunct in burn resuscitation is continuous, high-dose vitamin C (ascorbic acid) infusion, which may reduce fluid requirements and thus decrease the risk for over resuscitation. Research in preclinical studies and clinical trials has shown continuous infusions of high-dose vitamin...
متن کاملPeanut-induced acute oxalate nephropathy with acute kidney injury
Oxalate nephropathy is commonly caused by ethylene glycol, vitamin C, and foods like star fruit that contain a lot of oxalate. Peanuts also have high oxalate contents. However, case reports of peanut-induced oxalate nephropathy are not common. Here, we describe a case of peanut-induced acute oxalate nephropathy with acute kidney injury and intend to demonstrate the conditions under which peanut...
متن کاملVitamin C-induced oxalate nephropathy: a case report
Therapeutic benefits of vitamin C is an area of active research and large doses have been suggested by many studies for treatment of various conditions. We are describing a case of oxalate nephropathy leading to end stage kidney disease, which occurred secondary to mega-dose of oral vitamin C. Increasing the awareness between medical personnel as well as patients will clearly decrease the incid...
متن کاملVitamin C-induced hyperoxaluria causing reversible tubulointerstitial nephritis and chronic renal failure: a case report
UNLABELLED Vitamin C is a precursor of oxalate and promoter of its absorption, potentially causing hyperoxaluria. Malabsorption causes Calcium (Ca) chelation with fatty acids, producing enteric hyperoxaluria. CASE A 73-year-old man with both risk factors was hospitalized with serum creatinine of 8.4 mg/dL (versus 1.2 mg/dL four months earlier) (normal 0.6-1.3 mg/dL). Given his oxalate-rich di...
