The spectrum of kidney disease among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients is extensive. We describe a young male who was recently detected with HIV infection and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) negative pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis. The patient had no extrarenal vasculitis involvement.

- Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis (TRAS) is the most common vascular issue after kidney transplants, linked to higher rates of transplant failure and mortality.
- A study at a major transplant center focused on identifying risk factors for clinical TRAS (cTRAS) in living donor kidney transplants, revealing that arterial vascular reconstruction of multiple renal arteries (VR-MRA) significantly raises the risk of cTRAS.
- Among diagnosed cTRAS cases, a majority received successful endovascular treatment, leading to outcomes in graft and patient survival comparable to those without cTRAS, emphasizing the importance of early screening and prompt intervention.
An eight-year-old child presenting with increased thirst, raised intracranial tension and visual deterioration was diagnosed with synchronous suprasellar and pineal lesions, for which she underwent partial resection of the suprasellar lesion. Histopathological examination suggested pure germinoma. Tumor marker evaluation showed significantly raised levels of beta human chorionic gonadotropin (βHCG), favoring a non-germinoma germ cell tumor (NGGCT), leading to a diagnostic dilemma as the histology and βHCG levels were contradictory.
