A 25-year-old obese woman experienced ischemic renal injury as a complication of intragastric balloon (IGB) insertion for weight reduction. Although IGB is associated with a low risk of renal injury in the form of acute renal failure, this presentation has never been reported. The patient responded well to treatment, with complete clinical and radiologic resolution after balloon removal. She did not have an apparent cause of renal ischemia other than a significant compression of the renal vessels by the balloon as seen on imaging.
一名25岁的肥胖女性在接受胃内气球(IGB)置入以减轻体重时出现缺血性肾损伤,这是一种并发症。尽管IGB导致急性肾衰竭形式的肾损伤风险较低,但这种情况此前从未有过报道。该患者对治疗反应良好,在取出气球后临床和影像学表现完全恢复。除了影像学上显示气球对肾血管造成明显压迫外,她没有其他明显的肾缺血原因。
