Abstract
© 2014, North American Journal of Medical Sciences. All right reserved.Context: Short bowel syndrome is a rare and devastating complication in chronic infl ammatory bowel disease following functional or anatomic loss of extensive segments of the intestine. Case Report: A 60-year-old male patient with Crohn’s disease had undergone multiple resections of the intestine and developed short bowel syndrome. Despite up to 4-5 liters of orally fl uid, suffi cient calcium and magnesium intake, he suffered from recurrent acute kidney injury due to profound volume depletion and those electrolyte defi ciencies. Administration of intravenous fl uid and electrolyte repleacement treatment at regular intervals prevented further kidney injuries. Conclusion: We present a case of recurrent acute kidney failure in a patient with Crohn’s disease, and aimed to remark importance of receiving suffi cient parenteral fl uid and electrolyte support in those with short bowel syndrome.
