Hemosiderin tubulopathy-induced acute kidney injury - A rare initial manifestation of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

We describe a case of an elderly gentleman presenting with features of severe AKI requiring hemodialysis due to hemosiderin tubulotoxicity as the first manifestation of PNH. The diagnosis was challenging because of the rarity and unfamiliarity with this entity. The outcome was complete recovery of renal function with hemodialysis. PMID: 30381527 [PubMed - in process]
