AMERICAN-JOURNAL-OF-NEPHROLOGY PY 1991 LA ENGLISH AB We describe the
case of a 33-year-old male patient with an acute visceral
leishmaniasis (Leishmania donovani) associated with an acute renal
failure. The clinical manifestations were dominated by fever, oliguric
renal failure and hepatic alterations. Serum C3 and C4 fractions of
complement were decreased, and a renal biopsy demonstrated an
interstitial nephritis with no glomerular involvement. The clinical
course was favorable with recuperation of renal function without
sequels. MJME *Kidney-Failure,-Acute-etiology;
