Muhammad BASHIR1 [ID], Abdi Karim Ahmed GHEDI1 [ID], Abstract Acute kidney injury is a complication of severe
malaria that is relatively uncommon. It has clinical importance associated
with substantial morbidity and mortality in malaria-endemic regions. We
report a young patient who developed acute renal injury as a result of severe
malaria. In this case, malaria diagnosis was confirmed using the malaria rapid
screening test and microscopic inspection of blood smears. Fever, nausea and
vomiting, loss of appetite and jaundice were the clinical presentations.
Treatment with artemether injection, volume expansion and antipyretics was
given. He recovered well without needing hemodialysis. This is not always the
case, and the prognosis is dependent on the time of presentation, the
diagnosis, and the treatment received. Keywords:
