We describe two cases of acute renal failure (ARF) after heavy alcohol intake. Remarkable features included a few days latency period after binge drinking, acute flank pain resembling pyelonephritis, lack of rhabdomyolysis or liver injury, and concomitant intake of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Renal function improved with conservative treatment, and despite NSAIDs use, hyperkalemia was not clinically significant. Since binge drinking is common in the Western population, early recognition of this syndrome may be helpful when examining a patient with flank pain and ARF of unclear etiology.
我们描述了两例酒精摄入过量导致的急性肾衰竭（ARF）。显著特征包括在狂饮后数天潜伏期，类似肾盂肾炎的急性腰痛，无横纹肌溶解或肝损伤，以及同时摄入非甾体抗炎药（NSAIDs）。肾功能通过保守治疗得到改善，尽管使用了 NSAIDs，但高钾血症并无明显临床症状。由于在西方人群中，狂饮很常见，因此当检查原因不明的腰痛和 ARF 患者时，早期识别这种综合征可能会有所帮助。
