Hypernatremia Masking a Case of Primary Sjögren Syndrome-induced Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis.

Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), also known as Type 1 renal tubular acidosis, is a rare disorder. It primarily occurs through the inability to secrete H+ ions. The causes of dRTA can be divided into primary and secondary.

Clinical Profile and Outcome of Coronavirus Disease-2019 Pneumonia in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Single-center Study from Western India.

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has become a public health concern and global threat with high morbidity and mortality among kidney transplant recipients. However, risk factors and manifestations in this group of patients remain poorly understood. We aimed to study the clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, and disease course of kidney transplant recipients with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Safety and Tolerability of Remdesivir in Patients with End-stage Renal Disease on Maintenance Hemodialysis.

Introduction: The use of remdesivir is not recommended in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection unless potential advantage offset disadvantage due to limited safety data. Our objective was to assess the safety of remdesivir in patients with end-stage renal failure and evaluate the outcome of this vulnerable group.

Methodology: We carried out a retrospective observational study in dialysis-dependent ESRD patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection who received a standard 5-day course of remdesivir (powder form) from June 2020 to December 2020.

Review of a Case of Paraquat Poisoning in a Tertiary Care Rural-based ICU.

Unlabelled: Paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4, 4'-dipyridylium) is a broad-spectrum liquid herbicide associated with both accidental and intentional ingestion leading to severe and often fatal toxicity. Paraquat is actively taken up against a concentration gradient into lung tissue leading to pneumonitis and lung fibrosis. Paraquat also causes renal and liver injury.
