title: [Viral hepatitis A and postpartum acute renal failure. Report of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: Hepatitis A virus infection (HAV) has been perceived as a self-limited disease. However, acute renal failure is an infrequent but well-described complication of HAV infection. Although the mechanisms responsible are uncertain, they may be related to the immune complex. In this report we describe a patient with HAV and acute renal failure in the postpartum period.
