A case of mucormycosis caused by Rhizopus microsporus in a renal transplant patient.

A 54-year-old man who had been on the kidney donor register for 32 years received a kidney from a 9-year-old boy who had died of fulminant myocarditis. The post-operative course was poor, and hemodialysis was still needed after surgery. A kidney biopsy one hour after surgery showed a neutrophil-predominant inflammatory cell infiltrate localized to the peritubular capillaries (PTC) and acute tubular necrosis of the proximal tubule.

Significant response to tocilizumab in a case of immune deposits-related membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and tubulointerstitial nephritis complicated by multicentric Castleman's disease.

A 47-year-old woman with a 12-year history of anemia and high C-reactive protein (CRP) levels was admitted to our hospital with worsening fatigue and night sweats. She had high levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG; 4182 mg/dL), IgA (630.6 mg/dL), and CRP (7.

Blood glucose levels in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest undergoing targeted temperature management and ECPR.

Aim: Targeted temperature management (TTM) for patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has not been fully studied. This study aimed to investigate the association between blood glucose levels during TTM and neurological outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients undergoing ECPR.

Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the SAVE-J II study, a retrospective, multicenter study of OHCA patients treated with ECPR in Japan.

A Case of Acute Eosinophilic Granulomatous Tubulointerstitial Nephritis in a Patient Receiving Combination Treatment with Three Drugs.

We herein report a 69-year-old man with acute kidney injury who required dialysis after receiving a combination of three drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation test-positive drugs. A kidney biopsy showed tubulointerstitial nephritis with severe eosinophilic infiltration and numerous granuloma formations. Acute eosinophilic granulomatous tubulointerstitial nephritis was diagnosed.
