Acute pancreatitis and renal cortical necrosis.
A 21-year-old man presented with acute pancreatitis and acute renal failure. Diffuse bilateral renal cortical necrosis was diagnosed by renal biopsy and selective renal arteriography. The patient recovered from the attack of pancreatitis but remained anuric. Possible mechanisms for the association between acute pancreatitis and renal cortical necrosis are discussed.
