急性草酸盐肾病(AON),定义为急性肾损伤(AKI)与肾实质中草酸盐晶体沉积之间的关联,是高草酸尿症的罕见并发症.我们报告了成人中罕见的AON病例,原因是草药摄入导致晶体诱发的AKI。我们建议彻底的用药史,包括使用草药,对于所有肾功能迅速丧失的患者,特别是在缺乏已知的AKI危险因素的情况下。使用草酸盐含量未知的草药会增加AON的风险,应避免。
Acute oxalate nephropathy (AON), defined as the association between acute kidney injury (AKI) and the deposition of oxalate crystals in the renal parenchyma, is a rare complication of hyperoxaluria. We report a rare
case of AON in an adult due to medicinal herbs intake leading to crystal-induced AKI. We recommend that a thorough medication history including the use of medicinal herbs, should be obtained for all patients with a rapid loss of kidney function, especially in the absence of known risk factors for AKI. The use of medicinal herbs with unknown oxalate contents would increase the risk of AON and should be avoided.
