Dialysis-requiring acute urate nephropathy and mobilization gout flare in a patient with alcoholic ketoacidosis: a case report

Key takeaways

This case report describes one person whose kidneys suddenly failed and needed dialysis. Uric acid crystals built up in the kidneys during a crisis caused by heavy drinking, and a gout flare followed. It is the story of a single patient, so it cannot show how common this is or what causes it. It is a warning about sudden kidney injury, not about slow long-term kidney disease.
