[TTP or HUS? About a case revealing an IgA nephropathy].

Thrombotic microangiopathy includes a set of conditions characterized by the association of mechanical hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and organ failure which accurate diagnosis is sometimes difficult. We report the case of a patient who presented a thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) due to an atypical hemolytic and uremic syndrome (HUS) associated with an immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy with a favorable outcome under corticosteroid.

Crystalline light chain proximal tubulopathy with chronic renal failure and silicone gel breast implants: 1 case report.

A 39-year-old female patient was admitted to explore chronic renal failure. Clinical history included silicone breast implants. Clinical examination was normal.

Acute renal infarction: a case series.

Background And Objectives: Renal infarction is an arterial vascular event that may cause irreversible damage to kidney tissues. This study describes the clinical characteristics of patients with renal infarction according to underlying mechanism of vascular injury.

Design, Setting, Participants, & Measurements: This study retrospectively identified 94 patients with renal infarction diagnosed between 1989 and 2011 with the aim of highlighting potential correlations between demographic, clinical, and biologic characteristics and the etiology of renal infarction.
