Abstract EN
A 38-year-old African American woman presenting with acute abdominal pain and nonobstructive renal failure was found to have an enlarged fibroid uterus.
A differential for sepsis was considered.
Lab evaluation revealed an elevated creatinine and myoglobin level at 3.9 mg/dL and 2140 ng/mL, respectively.
Ongoing hemodynamic instability mandated surgery for acute abdomen.
A 25 cm fibroid uterus was extirpated through a total abdominal hysterectomy.
Immediate improvement of acute nephropathy mirrored the postoperative decline in serum myoglobin levels.
Myoglobinemia from a massive degenerating fibroid is associated with nonobstructive acute renal failure.
