AB Acute renal failure was precipitated by hemoglobinuria secondary to head-banging in a retarded 12-year- old boy who had cyanotic tetralogy of Fallot and mild dehydration secondary to acute gastroenteritis. Hemoglobinuria is a not uncommon result of repeated pounding trauma to any extremity. Renal problems with hemoglobinuria generally occur in association with other renal risk factors such as dehydration and ischemia.
