Abstract :
Acute renal failure is one of the side effects while using intravenous
immunoglobulins. This complication is also observed with iodinated contrast media.
Herein, we describe a patient with acute renal failure who received intravenous
immunoglobulins and iodinated contrast media concomitantly. Both drugs are
responsible for osmotic nephrosis. The same effect on renal cells may explain a
synergistic effect on renal function.
