Myoglobinuric acute renal failure in a cardiac transplant patient taking lovastatin and cyclosporine

DS Alejandro and J Petersen
Division of Nephrology, Stanford University School of Medicine, CA 94305-5114.

Acute renal failure can occur in cardiac transplant patients for a variety of reasons. A case of a patient who developed acute renal failure secondarily to drug-induced rhabdomyolysis is reported. The literature regarding acute renal failure and lovastatin and other 3- hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors is reviewed. The potential mechanisms of myoglobinuria and nephrotoxicity and the therapeutic implications are discussed.
