Acute Kidney Injury by Renal Hemosiderosis Secondary to Primary Cold Agglutinin Disease Associated with an Excessive Alcohol Intake.

Acute Kidney Injury by Renal Hemosiderosis Secondary to Primary Cold Agglutinin Disease Associated with an Excessive Alcohol Intake. Intern Med. 2018 Jul 06;: Authors: Imafuku A, Yamamoto G, Takemura K, Hasegawa E, Sawa N, Kawada M, Sekine A, Hoshino J, Takaichi K, Fujii T, Ohashi K, Ubara Y Abstract Renal hemosiderosis occurs in the context of severe intravascular hemolysis, with the most common cause being paroxysmal nocturnal hematuria. Patients with cold agglutinin disease (CAD) have relatively mild hemolysis, and acute kidney injury (AKI) due to renal hemosiderosis has not been reported. We encountered a patient with CAD caused by lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma who developed AKI secondary to renal hemosiderosis after an excessive alcohol intake.
