Discordant inflammatory changes in the apophyseal and sacroiliac joints: serial observations in enthesitis-related arthritis.

Objective: To determine the extent to which inflammation of the sacroiliac joints (SIJs) and apophyseal joints (AJs) changes concordantly after treatment in enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA).

Methods: A retrospective study was performed with institutional review board approval. 31 young patients with ERA who had been scanned between March 2009 and November 2014 were included.

Reversible acute anuric kidney injury after surgical evacuation of perinephric hematomas as a complication of renal transplant biopsies.

Percutaneous renal transplant biopsy is the gold standard investigation to diagnose the cause of renal allograft dysfunction. There are inherent risks to this investigation, despite the procedure becoming safer due to the increased utilization of ultrasound-guided techniques. These biopsy risks can be increased when there is acute rejection present with a swollen transplanted kidney.
