아세트아미노펜에 의한 급성 신부전은 잘 알려져 있지 않으며 그 치료에 대해서도 확립되어 있지 않다. 저자들은 58세 여자 환자가 과량의 아세트아미노펜 중독으로 인해 급성 신부전이 발생하였으나 N-acetylcystein 투여와 적절한 혈액 관류 및 혈액 투석으로 성공적으로 치료하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
Acetaminophen is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic. Acetaminophen-induced kidney injury is poorly described. Hepatorenal syndrome, prerenal failure, and direct toxicity of acetaminophen metabolites could be involved in the development of acute renal failure with acetaminophen intoxication. We treated a 58-year-old female who was found stuporous and brought to the emergency room by ambulance. She had ingested acetaminophen 4~5 g per day for a chronic headache for over 10 years. At presentation, she had ingested about 8 g of acetaminophen. She presented in non-oliguric acute renal failure with hepatic injury. Hemoperfusion, hemodialysis, and N-acetylcysteine infusion were applied. The creatinine peaked on the sixth day. Subsequently, her renal function recovered. After 34 days, she was discharged in relatively good condition. In conclusion, supportive care and proper extracorporeal therapy can improve the survival in acute renal failure after acetaminophen intoxication. (Korean J Med 2011;80:348-351)
