Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
There are various causes leading to acute rhabdomyolysis, and the most common potentially lethal complication of rhabdomyolysis is acute kidney injury. Influenza vaccination-associated rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure is rarely reported in literature. There are few data regarding kidney biopsy results from rhabdomyolysis induced renal failure after influenza vaccination.
Case Report: A 55-year-old male with chronic kidney disease stage 3a with hyperlipidemia under rosuvastatin control, who was admitted due to severe rhabdomyolysis induced renal failure after influenza vaccination. Kidney biopsy revealed acute tubular necrosis (ATN) and acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) superimposed on focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Conclusion: Our experience illustrates the dual pathologic findings of ATN and AIN, both induced by influenza vaccine in a patient with chronic kidney disease on statin therapy. | |
