| Abstrakt: | Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication following multiple honey bee stings and usually presents after 24-48 hours following the incidence. The severity of AKI is related to the number of stings. A single sting can cause an allergic reaction, and as the stings increase, a higher amount of venom is inoculated, leading to systemic poisoning. Bee venom can have direct or indirect effects on the kidneys. AKI is a combination of toxic and ischemic acute tubular necrosis. Patients may require dialysis, and the usual renal recovery time is 4-120 days. The patient with multiple honey bee stings needs emergency medical treatment, sometimes in the ICU setting, with the aim of treating or preventing anaphylaxis reactions. A case of AKI due to multiple honey bee stings is presented, which is rare but a known occurrence. The patient survived with a recovery of renal function.
