Abstract EN
Renal and urologic problems in pediatric condition falsification (PCF) or Munchausen by proxy (MSP) can result in serious diagnostic dilemma.
Symptoms of hematuria, pyuria and recurrent urinary tract infections have occasionally been described.
However, MSP presenting as azotemia has not been previously reported.
We describe the case of an unfortunate boy who had to undergo unnecessary hemodialysis for persistent hyperkalemia and azotemia before a final diagnosis of the falsification of investigations by the parents was made.
