Article Synopsis
- Acute renal infarction (ARI) is a rare condition that often goes undiagnosed due to nonspecific symptoms; diagnosis mainly relies on imaging techniques.
- A retrospective study analyzed 85 hospitalized ARI patients from 2010 to 2022, focusing on their backgrounds, with a significant prevalence of cardiovascular causes, particularly atrial fibrillation.
- The study found smokers faced a higher risk of ARI, and nearly half of the patients who developed it were on blood-thinning medications, highlighting the need for vigilance even in those taking anticoagulants.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which leads to increased cardiovascular complications. Catheter ablation (CA) has emerged as an effective and safe treatment for AF in CKD patients. CA offers tailored treatment strategies and presents a safer alternative with fewer adverse outcomes than anti-arrhythmic agents.

Postoperative polyuria due to diabetes insipidus (DI) is commonly reported complication of pituitary surgery. However, central DI postabdominal surgery is rare and related to unmasking of pre-existing DI or prolonged surgery with significant intraoperative blood loss. A thorough workup needs to be performed to exclude central DI in such patients.
