  • Title: Acute renal failure in falciparum malaria.
    Author: Segasothy M, Swaminathan M, Kong NC.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 1994 Dec; 49(4):412-5. PubMed ID: 7674979.
    Abstract:
    We report two patients who had cerebral malaria, heavy parasitemia, hyperbilirubinemia, hypercatabolism with rapid rises of blood urea and serum creatinine and acute renal failure. There was no evidence of intravascular hemolysis. Renal biopsy was consistent with acute tubular necrosis. Both patients responded to treatment with intravenous quinine and dialysis.
