Acute renal failure with severe loin pain and patchy renal ischemia after anaerobic exercise: A case series
Acute renal failure with severe loin pain and patchy renal ischemia after anaerobic exercise (ALPE) is gradually gaining recognition. In this case series, we describe the presentation of ALPE in the emergency department setting and its clinical course. In Case 1, an 18-year-old man presented with acute-onset nausea, vomiting, and right flank pain after playing basketball, with a creatinine level of 6.42 mg/dL on initial presentation. He received fluid therapy and intravenous furosemide for 2 days.
