| Summary: | Introduction:
Although one of the most successful orthopedic procedures, total hip arthroplasty (THA) conveys a not negligible risk for complications.
Case Report:
A 72-year-old patient after a THA received an operative revision 2 times due to persistent hematoma and early periprothetic infection. Post-operative renal failure requiring hemodialysis has been caused by a histologically confirmed oxalate nephropathy (ON). Post-operative antibiotic treatment altering the gut microbiome has been assumed as the most likely cause of ON. It is the first presented case of ON as a post-operative complication after a hip arthroplasty revising operation.
Conclusion:
Acute post-operative renal injury conveys significant danger for the patients. An interdisciplinary approach is needed as many cases require complex diagnostic and therapeutical procedures offered by experts on the field. |
