Collapsing glomerulopathy and hemolytic uremic syndrome associated with falciparum malaria: completely reversible acute kidney injury.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most dreaded complications of severe malaria. Herein, we report a case of spontaneous resolution of AKI due to collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) and hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) associated with P. falciparum malaria. Our case report highlights the fact that early intervention on the triggering cause of CG without a long course of steroids may obtain a remission of this severe subset of CG and may obtain a remission of HUS without therapeutic plasmapheresis The etiologic treatment of CG and HUS may avoid progression to end-stage renal disease.
