Acute Renal Failure After Radiofrequency Liver Ablation of Metastatic Carcinoid Tumor

Abstract

We report a case of prolonged radiofrequency liver ablation for metastatic carcinoid tumor complicated by hemolysis, rhabdomyolysis, and transient acute renal failure. Brief radiofrequency liver ablation procedures or those for a small number of tumor sites are not associated with these complications.
