(a) Time course of blood pressure, haemoglobin, and albumin levels during the acute episode and effects of therapeutic interventions. (b) Time course of methemoglobin during the acute episode. BL: baseline (3 months before the acute episode), Hb: haemoglobin (% variation form baseline), Alb: albumin (% variation form baseline), ABP: mean arterial blood pressure (absolute value), and MetHb: methaemoglobin (% variation form baseline).

Fluid loading with crystalloids was started, but despite a positive balance of 5500 mL/12 h, ABP kept falling (Figure 1) and urine output remained low. Haemoglobin levels normalized over a 48-hour period, while albumin remained low (Figure 1).
