Abstract
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening, systemic, hypersensitivity reaction, manifested by urticaria, hypotension, and respiratory symptoms. Antigens that are cleared renally may have protracted exposure in patients with impaired renal function, resulting in prolonged and refractory anaphylactic shock. After administration of sugammadex, a 47-year-old man developed prolonged, refractory anaphylactic shock, with anuria due to acute kidney injury. The patient was treated with continuous, short-term, veno-venous hemodiafiltration. Initiating this therapy in patients with refractory anaphylactic shock and anuria due to an antigen that is excreted renally can expedite recovery.
