We describe the case of a 30-year-old man with HIV with an elevated creatinine and three litres per day of urine output. Using this patient as a framework, we review a diagnostic approach to acute kidney injury with polyuria. This case emphasizes the importance of a complete diagnostic evaluation of acute kidney injury. Without this approach, it would have been easy to attribute the patient’s acute kidney injury to his HIV and necrotizing peri-anal infection, instead of the true life- threatening cause.
