Here, we report a 35-year-old man with non-fulminant acute non A, non B, non C hepatitis which developed into acute renal failure. The patient was admitted to hospital with the chief complaints of general fatigue, nausea and a high-grade fever of 40 degrees C. Laboratory examination revealed severe liver dysfunction and renal insufficiency on admission: his serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase was 3.203 IU/ml, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase was 3.825 IU/ml, lactic dehydrogenase was 2.840 IU/ml, blood urea nitrogen was 65 mg/dl, and creatinine was 7.6 mg/dl. Hemodialysis was conducted during the initial 19-day period after admission because anuria was manifested on admission. On the 36th day after onset, renal functions returned to normal and the patient was negative for IgM-HA antibody. HBs antigen, IgM-HBC antibody, HCV antibody, cytomegalovirus antibody, and Epstein-Barr virus antibody. However, liver biopsy for histological examination on the 44th day after onset revealed no specific findings except the healing stage of acute hepatitis. Renal biopsy on the 49th day showed the healing stage of acute tubular necrosis without any glomerular change. It has been infrequently reported that acute renal failure develops following a non-fulminant acute state without hepatitis A, B or C virus infection. It is necessary to take acute renal failure into account in the clinical course of non-fulminant non A, non B, non C hepatitis.
