Nonobstructive Acute Renal Failure with a Large Solitary Fibroid
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 38-year-old African American woman presenting with acute abdominal pain and nonobstructive renal failure was found to have an enlarged fibroid uterus. A differential for sepsis was considered. Lab evaluation revealed an elevated creatinine and myoglobin level at 3.9 mg/dL and 2140 ng/mL, respectively. Ongoing hemodynamic instability mandated surgery for acute abdomen. A 25 cm fibroid uterus was extirpated through a total abdominal hysterectomy. Immediate improvement of acute nephropathy mirrored the postoperative decline in serum myoglobin levels. Myoglobinemia from a massive degenerating fibroid is associated with nonobstructive acute renal failure.

In particular, acute nonobstructive pyelonephritis is barely considered in the primary differential diagnosis of renal failure. Without urinary obstruction, kidney hypoperfusion, or exposure to nep...
