Popis: It is the purpose of this paper to emphasize the not infrequent occurrence of acute renal failure complicating acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis. Basic texts1-6and recent review articles7-12on pancreatitis make no mention of acute renal failure as a potential complication. Actual survey of the literature reveals very few reports of this combination of severe diseases. Lucke13listed acute pancreatitis among the miscellaneous causes of "lower nephron nephrosis" but did not elaborate further. A review of 22 cases of "renal anoxia syndrome," by Gaberman et al.14included two which followed acute pancreatitis; Varay15reported a single case and referred to three others. Swan and Merrill listed acute pancreatitis as the cause of one of 85 cases of acute renal failure.16Lynch17described pathologic lesions of renal tubular necrosis (attributed by him to microscopic fat-droplet emboli) in six cases of pancreatitis, but antemortem acute renal failure
