Acute ascent to high altitudes beyond 2400m (300 feet) can cause acute mountain sickness (AMS) and may develop into life-threatening complications such as high altitude cerebral (HACE) and pulmonary edema (HAPE). We report a case of acute kidney injury (AKI) without other organ involvement in a previously healthy young man after sudden high altitude exposure of up to 5200m. Acute systemic hypoxia as well as prolonged renal hypoperfusion may be responsible for his kidney injury.
