Capecitabine-Related Thrombotic Microangiopathy.

Purpose: Renal injury is common in cancer patients and its etiology is multifactorial. Different patterns of renal histological lesions have been described in relation to oncologic treatments, notably acute tubular necrosis and tubulointerstitial nephritis, but also thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA).

Methods: We report a case of TMA secondary to capecitabine in an 82-year-old woman diagnosed with localized colon adenocarcinoma.

Multi-organ involvement and intratubular calcium phosphate deposition in the kidney biopsy: what should we investigate?

Background: Anorexia nervosa is frequently associated with alcohol use disorder. Both of them may adversely affect almost every body system, leading to worse clinical outcomes and high mortality risk. Nonetheless, there is little evidence interrelating anorexia nervosa, alcohol use disorder, and kidney failure.
