Acute Kidney Injury Following Intravenous Iron Sucrose in a 67-Year-Old Male: A Case Report

Parenteral iron therapy is a common treatment for chronic iron deficiency anemia and is generally well tolerated. We present a rare case of acute kidney injury (AKI) in a 67-year-old patient following an otherwise uneventful iron infusion. The patient was hospitalized and managed conservatively with intravenous hydration. His renal parameters returned to normal in about eight weeks. This case highlights the importance of vigilance in patients receiving parenteral iron, even in the absence of prior complications.
