Use of Recombinant Human Parathyroid Hormone to Treat Hungry Bone Syndrome in Hemodialysis Patient.

We report the case of a 35-year-old female with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis for nine years. She was diagnosed with secondary hyperparathyroidism complicated with a brown tumor in the mandible. After medical therapy failed, she underwent total parathyroidectomy (PTX), which was complicated by severe and prolonged hypocalcemia (hungry bone syndrome).

Calcium Kinetic in a patient with acute renal failure due to Rhabdomyolysis. A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Hypercalcemia may follow hypocalcemia in the course of acute renal failure (also named now as acute kidney injury) secondary to rhabdomyolysis. The clinician should be aware of this calcium kinetics to avoid the complications of both hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia that may occur at few days interval during the recovery phase. We present herewith the case of a young gentleman who developed anuric ARF due to a strenuous exercise induced rhabdomyolysis.

Fatal acute purulent pericarditis in a patient with renal transplant: a case report.

Objectives: Acute purulent pericarditis is a lifethreatening disease, although it is becoming uncommon in the era of antibiotics.

Materials And Methods: We present a case of fatal acute massive purulent pericarditis in a kidney transplant recipient.

Results: A 46-year-old woman had an unrelated commercial renal transplant in 2003.

Acute Renal Failure in a Patient with both Leptospirosis and Dengue Fever.

The spectrum of tropical nephropathies includes Acute Renal Failure (ARF) or Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) due to infective agents that are endemic in the tropics which include Leptospira (LS) and Dengue Viruses (DV). The major histological feature is Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN).(1, 2)We report the case of a patient who presented ARF with co-infection with both agents.
