Acute kidney injury in a diabetic haemophiliac: one step at a time.

We present a young man with type 1 diabetes mellitus and haemophilia A; who presented with oliguric acute kidney injury (AKI). He is also known to have chronic hepatitis C virus infection. On presentation, he had an active urinary sediment warranting a renal biopsy for definitive diagnosis and management.

Brevibacterium casei isolated as a cause of relapsing peritonitis.

We report a case of relapsing peritonitis in a 33-year-old woman on automated peritoneal dialysis. End-stage renal disease was secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus complicated with lupus nephritis. The organism isolated was Brevibacterium casei that was not readily identified, delaying appropriate management with an extended antibiotic course.
