Anti-tubercular treatment-induced granulomatous acute interstitial nephritis.

This case emphasizes the value of meticulous observation and regular follow-up of patients receiving rifampicin therapy. The prognosis for complete improvement in renal function in such cases was excellent, with prompt recognition and discontinuation of rifampicin. Teaching patients about these possible adverse effects and encouraging immediate reporting of signs and symptoms are likely to be beneficial because acute kidney injury can manifest itself very quickly after rifampicin is started.

The Effect of Dialysate Temperature on Dialysis Adequacy and Hemodynamic Stability: An Experimental Study with Crossover Design.

Cool dialysate has variable impact on hemodynamic stability and dialysis adequacy. Hemodynamic stability and dialysis adequacy are crucial indicators for better life expectancy and cardiovascular mortality. This research aims to evaluate the impact of cool dialysate temperature (35.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis masquerading as acute tubular injury and rhabdomyolysis.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis manifesting as hypothyroidism has been implicated in glomerular disorders due to autoantibody formation. Here we present the case of a 26-year-old male without any comorbidities presenting with easy fatiguability and weight gain for 2 months. He was found to have a creatinine of 2.

A Rare Case Report of Fanconi Anemia-Associated Nuclease 1 Mutation Causing Nephrotic Syndrome.

A 25-year-old African male patient presented with a history of frothy urination for one month. He had a significant family history of early onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) in his older brother. On evaluation, he was found to have deranged renal function and nephrotic-range proteinuria of 6152 mg/day.

An abysmal conundrum associated with a misplaced dialysis catheter.

A 25-year-old female patient with chronic glomerulonephritis, initiated on haemodialysis presented with high-grade fever, a dysfunctional catheter, low oxygen saturation and unstable blood pressure. Upon evaluation, the patient was febrile with elevated white blood cell counts. She was intubated, started on inotropes and transferred to the intensive care unit.

A rare presentation of isolated candidal hepatic abscess in a maintenance hemodialysis patient.

A 61-year-old female with diabetes and stage 5 chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis since 3 years via left brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula presented with uncontrolled sugars, weight loss, and dysphagia. On evaluation, she was found to have an oral thrush with leucocytosis. Initial blood and urine cultures were sterile, and ultrasonography revealed hypoechoic lesions in the left lobe of the liver.

An Unusual Case of Alcoholic Liver Disease Associated with Secondary IgA Vasculitic Nephritis presenting as Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis.

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a fairly common association with alcoholic liver disease. However, IgA vasculitis (IgAV) is quite an uncommon association with alcoholic liver cirrhosis and only a handful of cases have been reported in literature. Secondary IgAN usually presents in a docile manner, progressing slowly in about 5-25 years.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction in Middle-Aged Maintenance Haemodialysis Patients on a Twice-Weekly Schedule: Experience from a Single Indian Centre.

Data on the prevalence of cardiac failure with preserved ejection in the haemodialysis population, which impacts treatment strategy, mortality, and morbidity, are scarce. Estimate the prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in haemodialysis patients Classify cardiac failure and ascertain the risk factors influencing HFpEF in haemodialysis patients. All consenting individuals on haemodialysis over 18 years of age were included.

Clinical implications of serum anti-PLA2R levels and glomerular PLA2R deposits in primary membranous nephropathy.

The clinical implications of serum anti-PLA2R with glomerular PLA2R deposits in primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is scarcely reported. Hence the study was designed to demonstrate the prevalence of serum anti-PLA2R levels and PLA2R staining in glomeruli in PMN and the clinical implications of the two parameters. Investigate the prevalence of anti PLA2R positivity in PMN.

Rare coexistence of spinal muscular atrophy with membranous nephropathy - A clinical conundrum with management dilemma.

A 48-year-old male presented with proximal muscle weakness of the shoulder with difficulty in lifting objects above the shoulder in July 2012. Electromyogram was suggestive of chronic motor axonal loss with a myogenic pattern, and a deltoid muscle biopsy revealed groups of atrophic muscle fibers and hypertrophic fibers with pan fascicular atrophy suggestive of adult-onset spinal muscular atrophy. He was managed conservatively and developed bilateral pedal edema in August 2022.

A rare case of dialysis associated reaction presenting with urticarial vasculitis and haemoglobinuria.

Dialysis associated reactions presenting with urticarial vasculitis is rarely reported in medical literature. We report a 61-year-old gentleman who developed sudden onset dyspnea with diffuse erythema within 20 min of haemodialysis. Patient was started on Azilsartan 3 days prior to this clinical event.

Correlation of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging with Chronicity Markers in Native Renal Biopsy.

Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) is an ultrasound parameter which has shown promise in assessing liver stiffness, but there are limited data on the correlation of ARFI with chronicity markers in renal biopsies. Determine ARFI values in ultrasound and correlate with chronicity markers in renal biopsy. Determine whether ARFI can be used as a non-invasive chronicity predictor compared to renal length, Resistive Index (RI), and cortical thickness.

Catheter related atrial thrombus caused by Abiotrophia defectiva: A case series and review of literature.

Catheter related atrial thrombus (CRAT) is a devastating complication associated with tunneled hemodialysis catheter. Abiotrophia defectiva is a rare fastidious pathogen implicated predominantly in culture negative infective endocarditis. Here we report three cases of CRAT in maintenance hemodialysis patients with variable clinical presentation caused by Abiotrophia defectiva.
