Food intolerances.

Food intolerances are prevalent and often confused with food allergies. This article reviews the complex landscape of adverse reactions to food, distinguishing between immune-mediated responses (food allergies) and nonimmune reactions (food intolerances). It also explores specific food intolerances such as lactose intolerance, nonceliac gluten sensitivity, fructose intolerance, and salicylate sensitivity.

Risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury in pediatric cardiac surgery patients receiving angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.

Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor therapy is often initiated in pediatric patients who have had cardiac surgery. Acute kidney injury can occur in patients secondary to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor initiation. Risk factors for acute kidney injury after angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor initiation have yet to be defined in postoperative pediatric cardiac patients.

Captopril induced reversible acute renal failure in a premature neonate with double outlet right ventricle and congestive heart failure.

Background: captopril is well tolerated in most patients. There is no report of acute deterioration in renal function after administration of captopril in neonates with congestive heart failure secondary to congenital heart defects with large left-to-right shunts.

Methods: we report a premature neonate with double outlet right ventricle and congestive heart failure who developed acute renal failure after administration of captopril at a low dose of 0.
