Figure 3 Clinical course from admission to day 47. Hypertension, anuria, and kidney dysfunction developed around day 15. Sepsis associated acute kidney injury was initially diagnosed, and fluid infusion was increased accordingly. However, kidney function did not improve, and the patient developed generalized edema, weight gain, and increased oxygen demand. On day 19, Staphylococcus-induced glomerulonephritis secondary to burn wound infection was diagnosed, prompting initiation of fluid restriction and intermittent hemodialysis. Although clinical symptoms improved after approximately 1 month, kidney function did not return to baseline. SBP – systolic blood pressure; DBP – diastolic blood pressure; Cr – creatinine; BW – body weight.
