Nine patients of acute falciparum malaria with severe hyperbilirubinemia developed acute renal failure (ARF). All of them had evidence of intrahepatic cholestasis and needed hemodialysis for several weeks; 7 survived and 2 died, one due to cerebral malaria, the other multiple organ failure. Interestingly, referal diagnosis did not include malaria as a cause of ARF in 8 out of 9 patients.
