Abstract
The patient was a 65-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus. She was diagnosed with influenza B infection, and was treated with oseltamivir and clarithromycin in February 2014. Her urinary output gradually fell and the patient developed vomiting and a feeling of general malaise two weeks after she presented at the hospital. She developed hyperkalemia and required emergency dialysis, so she was admitted to the hospital. The urinary output improved following the second dialysis, hemodialysis was successfully administered on two other occasions, and her general condition improved. The causes of acute kidney injury can vary. The current case was thought to have been due to drug-induced kidney injury based on the timing of drug administration and the development of symptoms. Both medicines are frequently used during routine medical treatment, and patients' responses to these medications must be carefully monitored.
