Parenteral iron therapy is a common treatment for chronic iron deficiency anemia and is generally well tolerated. We present a rare case of acute kidney injury (AKI) in a 67-year-old patient following an otherwise uneventful iron infusion. The patient was hospitalized and managed conservatively with intravenous hydration. His renal parameters returned to normal in about eight weeks. This case highlights the importance of vigilance in patients receiving parenteral iron, even in the absence of prior complications.
肠外铁剂治疗是慢性缺铁性贫血的常见治疗方法,一般耐受性良好。我们报告了一例67岁患者在一次常规铁剂输注后发生急性肾损伤(AKI)的罕见病例。该患者住院并通过静脉补液进行保守治疗。他的肾功能参数在约八周后恢复正常。该病例强调了对接受肠外铁剂治疗的患者保持警惕的重要性,即使之前没有并发症。
