Abstract EN
Phenazopyridine is a commonly used urinary analgesic available throughout the United States.
Ingestion of large quantities can lead to methemoglobinemia, hemolytic anemia, jaundice, and acute renal failure.
We report a case of a 78-year-old male with previously normal renal function who developed acute renal failure and jaundice without methemoglobinemia or hyperbilirubinemia after taking nearly 8 g of phenazopyridine over the course of 4 days.
Initially presenting with oliguria, the urine output began to increase by day 2 of his admission, and the creatinine peaked 11 days after he began taking phenazopyridine, and he was discharged safely soon after.
To our knowledge, this is the first such case of renal failure and jaundice without methemoglobinemia or hemolytic anemia in an adult patient with normal renal function.
