[New Perspectives in Post-Surgical Acute Kidney Injury During Sepsis].

Postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) is a common complication of major surgery that is strongly associated with short-term surgical complications and long-term adverse outcomes. Risk factors for PO-AKI include older age and comorbid diseases such as chronic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus. Sepsis is a common complication in patients undergoing surgery and is a major risk factor for the development of acute kidney injury (SA-AKI).

[Discovering uncommon nephropathies: a case of acute kidney damage from malaria].

Malaria is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world with a high prevalence in developing countries. Renal impairment occurs in 40% of Plasmodium falciparum infections; glomeruli, tubules or interstitium can be involved with different pathophysiological mechanisms. We describe a case of severe acute renal failure caused by P.

Renal Thrombotic Microangiopathy in Concurrent COVID-19 Vaccination and Infection.

We report on the development of nephrotic proteinuria and microhematuria, with histological features of renal thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), following the first dose of BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech) and COVID-19 diagnosis. A 35-year-old previously healthy man was admitted at our hospital due to the onset of foamy urine. Previously, 40 days earlier, he had received the first injection of the vaccine, and 33 days earlier, the RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 tested positive.

[Resilience in COVID-19 times: general considerations on the recovery of a 93-year-old patient on haemodialysis treatment].

We report the case of a 93-year-old woman on haemodialysis treatment for more than 30 months and with multiple comorbidities who recovered from a Covid-19 infection without any significant clinical problems. The patient has shown a delay in viral clearance with swab test negativization (confirmed) after 33 days; after testing positive again, she has resulted persistently negative, (confirmed after 49 days). After the first negative swab, IgG and IgM antibodies have been found; these have remained persistently positive after a month.

[Dyslipidemia in Kidney transplant recipients].

The kidney transplant recipients' population shows pronounced alterations of the lipidic profile, with hypercholesterolemia (total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL), normal HDL and hypertriglyceridemia. Multiple factors contribute to the development of dyslipidemia, towards these, immunosuppressive therapy plays an important role. The impact on cardiovascular outcomes is less well defined than in general population.
