Two patients with reversible acute oligoanuric renal failure in the setting of sickle-cell crisis are presented.

There were several features in each case that suggested the presence of nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis. The possible role of pigmenturia in the pathogenesis of the reversible renal failure in sickle-cell crisis is discussed.
