Abstract
The unnecessary need for hemodialysis based on abnormal laboratory investigations is rare. We report a case of a 36-year-old male patient who complained of abdominal pain and passing red colored urine, with documentation of azotemia and hyperkalemia. He underwent unnecessary hemodialysis before a diagnosis of factitious disorder could be made.
