Severe acute kidney injury due to oxalate crystal induced severe interstitial nephritis: A case report.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) due to interstitial nephritis is a known condition primarily attributed to various medications. While medication-induced interstitial nephritis is common, occurrences due to non-pharmacological factors are rare. This report presents a case of severe AKI triggered by intratubular oxalate crystal deposition, leading to interstitial nephritis.

Spontaneous Extensive Type A Aortic Dissection in an Older Female with No Risk Factors: A Rare Clinical Presentation.

Background: Aortic dissection (AD) is a rare but serious medical emergency where the aorta's inner layer tears. Females are less likely to develop it than males, and AD cases with unusual symptoms can be hard to diagnose. Diagnosing AD can be further complicated as its symptoms and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes can mimic acute coronary syndrome, and it is challenging to distinguish it without risk factors.

Infection related membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis secondary to anaplasmosis: A case report.

Background: Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease with a range of clinical manifestations, from a flu-like illness with fever and myalgias to a severe systemic disease with multisystem organ failure. Although renal involvement is not a common presentation, there have been few cases reporting acute kidney injury from Anaplasmosis.

Case Summary: We present a 55-year-old female with anaplasmosis who developed acute kidney injury due to membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN).

Acute Myocardial Infarction Caused by Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection of the First Septal Perforator.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection of the septal arteries is rare and may be overlooked on coronary angiogram. Additionally, dedicated intracoronary imaging may not be feasible due to artery size. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging has an emerging role in diagnosis, which is critical because management changes significantly if spontaneous coronary artery dissection is diagnosed.

Vasopressin-induced hyponatremia in an adult normotensive trauma patient: A case report.

Background: Arginine vasopressin is a neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. In addition to maintaining plasma osmolarity, under hypovolemic or hypotensive conditions, it helps maintain plasma volume through renal water reabsorption and increases systemic vascular tone. Its synthetic analogues are widely used in the intensive care unit as a continuous infusion, in addition to hospital floors as an intravenous or intranasal dose.

Severe hypernatremia in hyperglycemic conditions; managing it effectively: A case report.

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) are common acute complications of diabetes mellitus with a high risk of mortality. When combined with hypernatremia, the complications can be even worse. Hypernatremia is a rarely associated with DKA and HHS as both are usually accompanied by normal sodium or hyponatremia.
