A successful management of acute cholemic nephropathy secondary to acute liver abscess and pylephlebitis associated severe sepsis by ercp, combined cvvhdf and stepwise hemodialysis

Abstract

Cholemic nephrosis or yellow kidneys, is a rare condition and can be associated with acute kidney injury secondary to various etiologies. We are reporting a difficult case presented with fatal severe sepsis associated with hepatic, pancreatic and renal injury secondary to impacted biliary stone at the ampulla of vater and complicated by infection. With proper management and early drainage of biliary system and continuous renal replacement therapy the patient survived. The early recognition and interference leads to reversal of symptoms and improvement of renal and patient survival.
