dc.description.abstractAcute renal failure developed in glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G.-6-P.D.) deficient adult Ghanaians-three men and three women-who were admitted to hospital with febrile illness. There was evidence of an�mia and urinary-tract infection at the time of renal failure in all six patients. Treatment with appropriate antibiotics and conservative management of the renal failure led to full recovery. It is suggested that an�mia (whether h�molytic or not) and urinary-tract infection are among the main precipitating factors in acute failure in G.-6-P.D. deficient patients. � 1972. � 2014 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
