Abstract

Renal hydatid disease is well defined, and many studies are present in the literature. Howewer, renal injury without direct renal invasion is a less well-known subject. Here is the report of a patient with hepatic hydatid cyst who presented with acute renal failure secondary to tubulointerstitial nephritis. The patient was treated with the combination of albendazole, and percutaneous aspiration, injection, and re-aspiration therapy. The patient is now on oral albendazole therapy and doing well on follow-up.
