Acute kidney injury due to abdominal compartment syndrome caused by duodenal metastases of prostate cancer

Ali Gurel. Clin Case Rep. 2015 Jul.

Abstract

Organ dysfunctions caused by intraabdominal hypertension is named as abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). A patient with prostate cancer admitted with dyspnea and oliguria. After decompression his health status improved. For patients with malignant disorders presented with oliguria and respiratory problems who have abdominal distension, ACS should be in mind.

Keywords: Abdominal compartment syndrome; acute kidney injury; intraabdominal hypertension; metastasis; prostate cancer.
