Abstract

A 10-year-old boy with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency developed acute renal failure during the icteric phase of non-fulminant hepatitis A infection. He needed peritoneal dialysis for 54 days. Acute tubular necrosis was confirmed by percutaneous renal biopsy. He had complete recovery of his renal function when he was discharged.
