  • Title: Acute renal failure complicating high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin therapy for acquired haemophilia.
    Author: McColl MD, Omran A, Walker ID, Lowe GD.
    Journal: Haemophilia; 1999 Mar; 5(2):124-6. PubMed ID: 10215961.
    Abstract:
    Acquired haemophilia is a rare disorder requiring therapy to control bleeding and to suppress the inhibitory antibody. High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin is commonly used as part of immunosuppressive regimens for this condition. We describe the case of an elderly patient who developed acute oliguric renal failure as a result of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. All patients receiving such treatment should have renal function carefully monitored both during and after the infusion.
