The Case | Acute renal failure and a “rejuvenating powder”

A 74-year-old man was admitted to the nephrology ward for acute kidney injury (AKI). His medical history was remarkable for hypertension, coronary artery bypass grafting, early-onset gouty arthropathy, and slowly progressive stage IIIb chronic kidney disease of probable vascular origin. His medications included amlodipine, ramipril, furosemide, moxonidine, aspirin, simvastatin, omeprazole, and allopurinol. The patient further mentioned he had been taking a “rejuvenating powder” ordered on the Internet a week beforehand.
