Recurrent episodic myoglobinuric acute kidney injury as presenting manifestation of idiopathic polymyositis

Abstract

Polymyositis (PM) is a rare heterogeneous group of disorders with frequent multisystem involvement including uncommon renal manifestations. Acute kidney injury (AKI) as the primary manifestation of PM is extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of recurrent episodic AKI in an adult female who was subsequently diagnosed to have PM.
