[Systemic necrotizing vasculitis: case report].

Systemic vasculitis presents a group of clinically pathologic syndromes with acute inflammatory process in its basis which commonly occurs on small blood vessels destroying their walls with fibrinoid necrosis. It often occurs on several organs and systems depending on the form, size and number of the diseased blood vessels. This paper is a case report on a female patient suffering from a serious systemic necrotizing vasculitis with clinically demonstrated ulceronecrotizing skin changes and purpura together with appearance of coronary ischemia; rhythmic disorders of heart rate and gastrointestinal bleeding and cardiac arrest in one moment.

[Anti-proteinuria effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in patients with nephrotic syndrome: an illusion or a read improvement?].

In order to examine the antiproteinuric effect of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs in patients with nephrotic syndrome, we performed a parallel determination of the daily proteinuria, strength of glomerular filtration and of the effective renal plasmatic flow in basal conditions and after a 7 day ibuprofen therapy at a daily dose of 1200mg (3 x 400mg) in a group of 12 patients with idiopathic glomerulonephritis. In all patients ibuprofen therapy induced a significant decrease of the existing proteinuria, but this decrease was accompanied by the decrease of clearance rate of 99mTc-DTPA and 131J-hipuran clearance, that is by decrease of strength of glomerular filtration (averagely 24.29%) and effective renal plasmatic flow (averagely 18.

[Successful treatment of acquired F:VIII C inhibitor after delivery using plasmapheresis and high doses of immunoglobulins].

Three months after delivery a patient 34 years of age was admitted to the Clinic of haematology in Novi Sad because of sudden massive bleeding from the left ankle, left lower leg as well as for having small haematomas visible at forearms. Examining the mechanism of haemostasis, a diagnosis was made: acquired inhibitor VIII:C coagulation factor. Concentrate of VIII coagulation factor was used in treatment, as well as plasmaphaeresis, high doses of immunoglobulins and immunosuppressive drugs: prednisone and azathioprime.

Effects of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs on renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate in patients with glomerulonephritis.

We investigated the effects of NSAIDs (Ibuprofen) on renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients with glomerulonephritis. The study included 98 patients (53 men and 45 women) with idiopathic glomerulonephritis. All of the patients received Ibuprofen 1200 mg (3x400) during 7 days.
