ABSTRACT
Acute renal failure with severe loin pain and patchy renal ischemia after anaerobic exercise (ALPE) is a rare condition characterized by severe loin pain and patchy renal ischemia following vigorous exercise. Moreover, its diagnosis relies on clinical manifestations. Here, we present the case of a 16-year-old male with recurrent abdominal pain attributed to ALPE. He developed recurrent abdominal pain after he started playing handball, and no definite cause could be identified despite a thorough examination. His symptoms worsened when he resumed handball practice after a one-month interruption. This case underscores the varied presentations of ALPE and the importance of considering it in the differential diagnosis of recurrent abdominal pain, particularly following strenuous exercise. Moreover, caution should be exercised when resuming exercise after periods of detraining, as this may predispose individuals to ALPE. Healthcare providers should be vigilant in recognizing and managing this condition, especially in individuals with recent exercise initiation following detraining.
