The pattern of renal enhancement and washout of contrast medium was observed on sequential follow-up CT in 12 patients with Korean hemorrhagic fever, in which acute renal failure is one of the most important clinical features. Renal contrast enhancement and contrast medium washout were delayed longer in patients with severe oliguric renal failure. The delayed washout peaked at 4-5 days and did not return to normal until 8-9 days in the patients with severe oliguria; in the patients without severe oliguria the times were 1-2 days and 3-4 days, respectively. A characteristic "cart-wheel" pattern was observed during the washout stage in patients without severe oliguria. This "cart-wheel" pattern of washout is thought to result from relief of vasoconstriction and repair of tubular function. Multifocal "wedge-shaped" nonenhanced areas of the kidney, seen on the 2 week follow-up postcontrast CT, are thought to be ischemic zones due to persistent vasoconstriction. On the 6 week follow-up postcontrast CT in one patient, scarring of the kidney was detected in the same area that did not enhance on the 2 week CT. This scarring is thought to be a result of permanent vasoconstriction.
