Refractory seizures in a dialysis patient and a vitamin consigned to oblivion.

Intradialytic breakthrough seizures refractory to multiple classes of antiepileptic medications are not common and can be due to many different reasons. Pyridoxine deficiency is an under-recognized cause of such seizures and frequently missed in clinical practice. Many factors specifically related to dialysis can lead to pyridoxine deficiency and in turn can contribute to refractory seizures.

Revisit of Polyomavirus Nephropathy Grading in Renal Allograft Recipients According to the Banff 2019 Working Group Classification: A Study From a Large Transplant Center in South India.

Background In renal transplant patients, the biopsy-proven incidence of polyomavirus nephropathy (PVN) is approximately 5%. There is no consensus in the morphologic classification of definitive PVN, which is attempted in the Banff 2019 Working Group classification, which groups histologic changes, reflects clinical presentation, and facilitates comparative outcome analyses. This study aims to analyze the clinical and histopathological findings and outcomes among the three classes in the recent classification.

Characteristics and Outcome of Biopsy-proven Malignant Hypertension with Severe Kidney Injury: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Although malignant hypertension begets multiple target organ damage, there is limited data on patients with severe renal injury and evident malignant hypertension in renal histopathology.

Methods: We assessed the baseline demographic, histopathological findings and clinical outcomes in this retrospective analysis of patients with biopsy-proven malignant hypertension.

Results: Thirty cases were analysed, the mean age of patients was 40 ± 11.

Chronic Kidney Disease after Snake Envenomation Induced Acute Kidney Injury.

Snake bite is an important cause for acute kidney injury (AKI) in the tropics and the victims are often otherwise healthy young adults without conventional risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Available literature on long-term outcomes of AKI -snake envenomation is limited, with only two small retrospective studies with follow-up periods of two years or less. In a hospital-based prospective and retrospective follow-up study, all consecutive adult patients who developed AKI and discharged alive were recruited in the prospective group and for retrospective analysis, we retrieved medical records of patients hospitalized with snake bite from the digitized medical records.

Erratum: Prognosis and long-term outcomes of acute kidney injury due to snake envenomation.
