Risk Factors for Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis 1 Month After Non-Cuffed Hemodialysis Catheter Removal.

: Complications, namely, catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) and venous stenosis, are associated with non-cuffed hemodialysis catheters used for emergency vascular access. However, only a few reports have demonstrated changes in the venous lumen and intravenous thrombosis after catheter removal. In this study, we comprehensively investigated the risk factors for residual thrombus 1 month after hemodialysis catheter removal.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with a mutation in the gene: A case report.

NADH dehydrogenase 5 (ND5) is one of 44 subunits composed of Complex I in mitochondrial respiratory chain. Therefore, a () gene mutation causes mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) disorder, resulting in the development of mitochondrial diseases. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) which had podocytes filled with abnormal mitochondria is induced by mitochondrial diseases.

Two cases of systemic lupus erythematosus complicated by hydronephrosis and unique small structures observed in the glomerular basement membrane.

We report two cases having a similar clinical profile of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated by hydronephrosis that developed concurrently with a similar pathological recognition of numerous unique microspherical and microtubular structures in the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Case 1 refers to a 29-year-old woman with SLE. An increase in the level of proteinuria had been triggered by hydronephrosis.
