Page kidney secondary to subcapsular hematoma following percutaneous renal allograft biopsy.

Percutaneous renal biopsy with ultrasound guidance is a helpful procedure regularly performed to obtain renal tissue diagnosis for rejection in the postrenal transplant setting; however, it is not without risks. We report the case of a 42-year-old male with end stage renal disease who developed a subcapsular hematoma, with subsequent hypertension and renal failure, compatible with acute page kidney as a complication of the renal biopsy. The ultrasound images demonstrated classic imaging appearances which all diagnostic and interventional radiologists should be aware of.

Proteomic screening of glycoproteins in human plasma for frailty biomarkers.

The application of proteomics methodology for analyzing human blood samples is of increasing importance as a noninvasive method for understanding, detecting, and monitoring disease. In particular, glycoproteomic analysis may be useful in the study of age-related diseases and syndromes, such as frailty. This study demonstrates the use of methodology for isolating plasma glycoproteins using lectins, comparing the glycoproteome by frailty status using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and identifying glycoproteins using mass spectrometry.
