Abstract:
Bilateral cortical necrosis accounts for up to 2% of cases of acute renal failure. More than half of cases of bilateral renal cortical necrosis occure in association with pregnancy complicated by antipartum or postpartum hemorrhage. Other causes including severe bacterial infections, hemolytic uremic syndrome, trauma, postoperative shock, burns, Acute pancreatitis, diabetic ketoacidosis, snake venoms, and phosphorus poisoning. A 53-year-old woman presented with acute pancreatitis and acute renal failure. Diffuse bilateral renal cortical necrosis was diagnosed by renal biopsy and computed tomography. The patient recovered from the attack of pancreatitis but remained anuric. Then, we report this case of acute renal cortical necrosis associated with acute pancreatitis.
