Acute renal failure with severe loin pain and patchy renal ischemia after anaerobic exercise (ALPE) is a rare cause of exertional acute kidney injury. The proposed mechanism of injury in ALPE is renovascular spasm, in the setting of oxidative stress and muscular damage, which creates a characteristic wedge-shaped infarction pattern on delayed imaging. Patients present with nausea, vomiting, loin or abdominal pain, and fatigue within 1-2 days of anaerobic exercise, associated with an acute rise in serum creatinine, which generally plateaus within 3 days. This process is likely exacerbated by dehydration, analgesic usage, and lower baseline fitness levels. This disease process is distinct from rhabdomyolysis, in that creatine kinase levels are not significantly elevated, myoglobinuria is not seen, and aggressive fluid resuscitation is not beneficial. We present three cases of ALPE following participation in the Marine Combat Fitness Test (CFT), an anaerobic evolution. Medical workup demonstrated no additional etiology for acute renal failure. The average peak creatinine in these patients was 2.9 mg/dL, and all demonstrated return to normal renal function, without hemodialysis. One patient experienced recurrent ALPE, after short-interval CFT participation. Military medical providers should be aware of this diagnosis when evaluating service members with acute renal injury after exercise. The clinical course is benign, and affected service members are at increased risk of recurrence, with subsequent intense exercise. Service members should engage in a graduated exercise program, before intense exercise activities, and should be monitored closely for recurrent renal injury.
