Abstract
- Since 1976, several cases of acute renal failure and acute hepatitis after ingestion of raw carp bile have been reported. We experienced 1 case of acute renal failure and hepatitis after ingestion of the raw fish(Cyprinus carpio nudus) gall bladder. The patient ate raw fish gall bladder to improve the health. The size of the fish he ate was over 1 m and that of the gall bladder was about an egg size. The clinical manifestations were characterized by dizziness, headache, diffuse abdominal pain, both flank pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. These symptoms were followed by gross hematuria, oliguria and jaundice. Elevation of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, transaminases lasted for about 2 weeks. Biopsy of the kidney was performed 13 days after ingestion of raw fish gall bladder. The kidney pathology showed recovery phase of acute tubular necrosis. The patient recovered with conservative treatment.
