Bile cast nephropathy (BCN) is a rare form of acute kidney injury (AKI) that occurs in the setting of hyperbilirubinemia. We present the case of a 67 year-old male with severe kidney injury who was found to have obstructive cholestasis. By way of this report, we aim to expand upon the existing literature and showcase the importance of timely endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) in this setting, in order to prevent irreversible kidney damage.
胆汁管型肾病(BCN)是一种发生于高胆红素血症情况下的罕见急性肾损伤(AKI)形式。我们报告一例67岁男性严重肾损伤患者,该患者被发现存在梗阻性胆汁淤积。通过本报告,我们旨在扩充现有文献,并展示在这种情况下及时进行内镜逆行胰胆管造影(ERCP)的重要性,以防止不可逆转的肾损伤。
