In our case, an HRS-AKI patient who underwent continuous renal replacement therapy for fluid overload developed fever with chills. His blood tests indicated elevated C-reactive protein and neutrophils, low platelet count, and bilateral lung infiltrates. Subsequently, his blood culture and catheter culture confirmed a catheter-related MRSA bloodstream infection. To address this complex clinical challenge, a novel oxazolidinone antibiotic, contezolid (800mg orally every 12 hours), was introduced into the patient’s anti-infection regimen. Notably, the patient exhibited remarkable improvements and responded favorably to this treatment. During subsequent follow-up, no recurrence of the infection or drug-related adverse events was observed. The successful utilization of contezolid in this case underscores its potential as a novel therapeutic option for treating MRSA infections in patients with HRS-AKI.Keywords: Hepatorenal syndrome-acute kidney injury, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, bloodstream infection, contezolid
