A 33-year-old Japanese woman at 40 weeks gestation visited the maternity hospital after imminent labor had begun. After the delivery, persistent bleeding developed resulting in hemorrhagic shock. Although the hemorrhage was eventually controlled, hepatic and renal dysfunction occurred, leading to acute kidney injury (AKI). The patient's clinical presentation was suggestive of amniotic fluid embolism (AFE). We subsequently initiated continuous renal replacement therapy (RRT) for AKI. The patient's condition improved, she discontinued RRT, and her renal function recovered. We herein report a patient who successfully recovered from AKI caused by AFE.

Two patients with anti-centromere antibody (ACA), hypertensive emergency, and acute renal failure, mimicking scleroderma renal crisis, without Raynaud's phenomenon and typical skin manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc), are reported. A review of 26 ACA-positive patients between March 2003 and March 2011 in Yokosuka Kyosai Hospital identified four additional patients with similar manifestations. All patients were Japanese women between 41 and 84 years of age at presentation. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotyping tests revealed the absence of the HLA-DQB1*0501 and DRB1*0101 alleles, which are associated with disease susceptibility to ACA-positive SSc among Japanese. These subjects' manifestations may represent a novel entity.
