Acetaminophen as Renoprotective Treatment in a Patient With Severe Malaria.

Background: Severe falciparum malaria with renal impairment carries a significant risk of poor outcomes, including death. Previous randomized controlled trials using acetaminophen as adjunctive treatment for malaria-associated renal failure have demonstrated improvements in renal function and kidney injury progression.

Case Presentation: A 50-year-old man with severe falciparum malaria presented with hemolytic anemia, oliguric acute kidney injury, nephrotic range proteinuria, and significant architectural changes on renal ultrasound.
