A Prospective Observational Study of Renal Involvement in Hematological Malignancies.

Patients with hematological malignancies (HMs) are at high risk of infections and comorbidities that substantially increase the occurrence of renal failure. Thus, the management of renal dysfunction in patients with HMs is crucial. The current study aimed to determine the incidence of renal involvement in patients with HMs and analyze their clinical profile in the context of renal disorders.

Clinico-biochemical Profile of Biopsy-proven Minimal Change Disease in Adults from a Tertiary Care Center in South India.

Minimal change disease (MCD) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in children, and in adults, it contributes to 10%-25% of NS. MCD in adults follows a slightly different course associated with increased incidence of steroid resistance, hematuria, and HTN. This is a prospective-record analysis study aimed to analyze the profile of MCD in adults, response to treatment, and relapse rates.

Unusual presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Bullous systemic lupus erythematosus is a rare distinctive subepidermal blistering disorder that can occur in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is histologically characterized by a neutrophil-predominant infiltrate in the subepidermal region with deposition of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM), C3, and auto-antibodies against collagen VII. Herein, we report a case of a 13-year-old girl who presented with bullous SLE and Class III lupus nephritis, which is extremely rare at this age.

Pregnancy-related acute kidney injury: An analysis of 165 cases.

Pregnancy-related acute kidney injury (PRAKI) contributes to 3-7% of overall acute kidney injury (AKI) cases in Indian subcontinent. The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes of PRAKI and risk factors associated with renal injury and maternal mortality. One hundred and sixty-five patients with PRAKI, seen at M.

Idiopathic erythrocytosis in IgA nephropathy.

We report a case of idiopathic erythrocytosis in a 31-year-old male who was incidentally detected to have hypertension during his preemployment checkup. Urine routine showed proteinuria and hematuria. Biochemical parameters revealed raised serum creatinine, and histological findings of the renal biopsy showed IgAN.
