    Author: Mooraki A, Boroumand B, Mohammad Zadeh F, Ahmed SH, Bastani B.
    Journal: Clin Nephrol; 1998 Oct; 50(4):255-7. PubMed ID: 9799072.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a young male with 2-month history of intermittent upper abdominal pain who developed diarrhea, anorexia, tea-color urine, and decreased urine output. He was found to be in severe acute renal failure requiring hemodialysis, four sessions in 10-day period. By the end of the second week of hospitalization renal function gradually improved with total recovery of function to a baseline creatinine of 1.1 mg/dl 25 days after the diagnosis of acute renal failure. His workup included Ham's test, water sugar test, and RBC fragility test which confirmed the diagnosis of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
