Urinary bladder rupture associated with severe hypercreatinemia is a rare clinical presentation. We herein report a 60-year-old interesting patient who was found to have intraperitoneal bladder rupture and pseudo-renal failure. High rate of suspicion and timely diagnosis is the key in management of this condition, which led to complete recovery in our patient.Keywords
spontaneous bladder rupture, pseudo-renal failure, acute kidney injury, hypercreatinemia, hyperkalemia
