Article Synopsis
- The VALIGA study analyzed the use of the Oxford Classification for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) in 1147 patients across 13 European countries, focusing on biopsy scoring and its impact on treatment decisions.
- The findings revealed that local pathologists tended to report more lesions than central pathologists, and variability in scoring was noted, particularly for mesangial hypercellularity and endocapillary hypercellularity.
- Ultimately, the study highlighted discrepancies in pathology assessments affecting treatment choices and clinical outcomes, suggesting that central reviews could offer more reliable evaluations for certain lesions.
A nine months old girl with prenatal diagnosis of bilateral hydronephrosis underwent serious studies and in view of the presumed diagnosis of right functional annulment, a right laparoscopic nephroureterectomy was performed. The anatomopatological result was suggestive of tuberculosis without previous contact with the disease. Postoperatively, the child received antituberculosis therapy (ATT) for a full 8 months (isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol for 2 months and isoniazid and rifampin for 6 months) and the follow-up tests revealed improvement of ureterohydronephrosis in left kidney.
