Idiopathic Nonlupus Full-House Nephropathy: Clinicopathological Presentation and Comparison with Lupus Full-House Nephropathy.

Full-house pattern on immunofluorescence (IF) on kidney biopsy in a patient without systemic lupus erythematosus is termed as nonlupus full-house nephropathy (FHN). In this study, we retrospectively compiled patients with nonlupus FHN and compared them with lupus FHN for clinicopathological presentation. We included patients with full-house IF patterns in renal biopsies collected from March 2007 to August 2018, clinical and histopathological data at the time of presentation were studied retrospectively.

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome in Organ Transplantation.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome encompasses a spectrum of disorders with a constellation of clinical symptoms and neuroradiological features. It is commonly encountered in organ transplant where it poses a challenge in the diagnosis and treatment in the absence of strong evidence. The underlying pathophysiology of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is the loss of cerebral autoregulation following elevated blood pressure and/or endothelial dysfunction.

Histological patterns of renal diseases in children: A 12-year experience from a single Tertiary Care Center in North-East India.

This study was conducted to retrospectively investigate the indications for renal biopsy in the native kidneys of children and to analyze the pathological findings in a single tertiary care hospital in North-East India for the past 12 years. All children (≤18 years) who underwent renal biopsy at our hospital from March 2007 to April 2018 were included. Renal tissue specimens were studied under light and immunofluorescence microscopy.

A Comparable Study on the Outcomes of Urgent Initiated Peritoneal Dialysis Versus Conventional Start, A Single Centre Study from North-East India.

Introduction: To avoid temporary hemodialysis, urgent initiated PD (UIPD) has been designed. In these patients, PD is initiated within 3 days after PD catheter placement. In this study, we evaluated the outcomes of UIPD in end-stage renal disease patients compared with the conventional start of PD.

Prevalence of Nondiabetic Renal Disease in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Clinicopathological Correlation: A Study from a Tertiary Care Center of Assam, India.

Diabetes mellitus is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide. The prevalence of nondiabetic renal disease (NDRD) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) varies widely. This study aimed to evaluate the renal biopsies performed on type 2 diabetic patients for suspicion of NDRD and to correlate clinicopathological findings.
