Abstract
Myoglobin cast nephropathy is a sequel of rhabdomyolysis, and is characterized by the release of free myoglobin in the circulation, direct proximal convoluted tubule injury, and obstruction by myoglobin cast in distal tubules. We report an interesting case of myoglobin cast nephropathy in a patient who was on neuroleptic drugs and who presented with neuroleptic malignant syndrome and acute kidney injury.
