A Case of Acute Kidney Injury in a Patient with Renal Hypouricemia without Intense Exercise
Abstract
Exercise-induced acute kidney injury (EIAKI) is a major complication in patients with renal hypouricemia (RHUC). EIAKI usually develops after intense exercise, such as anaerobic exertion, and is not accompanied by rhabdomyolysis [1]. However, there are several case reports of patients experiencing EIAKI without intense exercise [2-4]. Although the pathomechanism and risk factors of EIAKI remain unclear, many reports suggest that an oxidation-reduction imbalance is associated with EIAKI onset [5]. We herein report a case of acute kidney injury (AKI) in a patient with RHUC in the absence of intense exercise, which may have been caused by an oral vasopressor.
