Background: Urinary ascites represents a scarcely observed pseudo-acute kidney injury in clinical settings. Protracted or missed diagnosis may hold grave ramifications for patient outcomes.
Case Presentation: We reported a case involving an elderly female patient experiencing pseudo-acute kidney injury accompanied by ascites, wherein her renal dysfunction persisted despite medical intervention and hemodialysis.

Rupture of the urinary bladder and extravasation of urine into the peritoneal cavity leading to urinary ascites is an uncommon event, usually caused by blunt trauma to the abdomen. A high index of suspicion is required for early accurate diagnosis, which avoids unnecessary investigations and interventions. The disappearance of ascites following indwelling Foley's catheterization and high peritoneal fluid urea and creatinine compared to serum values are keys for diagnosis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcute kidney injury (AKI), a common diagnosis in the emergency department, is defined as a reduction in renal filtration function, with decrease in urine output, increase in serum creatinine, or both. However, a rise in serum creatinine can occur without AKI: the principal cause of a pseudo-AKI is urinary ascites, caused by urinary tract rupture, followed by reverse intraperitoneal dialysis and resorption of creatinine. The intraperitoneal leak of free urine is mainly traumatic, and half of the cases are iatrogenic.

We present a case of pseudo-acute kidney injury (AKI) following capmatinib therapy in an 84-year-old man with combined non-small cell (adenocarcinoma) and small cell lung cancer with MET exon 14-skipping mutation. His past medical history was significant for chronic kidney disease stage 3 with a baseline serum creatinine (Scr) of 1.6mg/dL rising to 2.
