title: Acute renal failure after radiofrequency liver ablation of metastatic carcinoid tumor.
abstract: We report a case of prolonged radiofrequency liver ablation for metastatic carcinoid tumor complicated by hemolysis, rhabdomyolysis, and transient acute renal failure. Brief radiofrequency liver ablation procedures or those for a small number of tumor sites are not associated with these complications.
