[Acute renal failure and rhabdomyolysis secondary to prolonged hunger strike. A case report].
Acute renal failure following hunger strike has been rarely reported. We report a 47-year-old man, prisoner, who developed an acute renal failure secondary to hypovolemia and major rhabdomyolysis. Failure of hydration with persistence of oliguria and secondary pulmonary edema required hemodialysis with eventually a favorable outcome.
