A 21-year-old Italian woman with extensive Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) developed recurrent pulmonary embolism in spite of the insertion of a Greenfield filter in the inferior vena cava. Clinical and radiologic diagnostic tests failed to demonstrate the pathway of the emboli. Radionuclide venography and intravenous radionuclide total body arteriography were performed. These radionuclide procedures helped to evaluate the extent of KTS and to detect the route of the emboli. This is the first case of KTS studied with intravenous total body arteriography reported in the literature.

Prevalence of Transaminitis and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease Among Young Indian Adults-A Population-Based Study.
J Clin Exp Hepatol

Health Services Department, Govt of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram, India.
Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) with onset in youth may be more consequential for adverse outcomes than that detected later in adulthood. Transaminitis in the general population is a marker of the prevalence of MASLD. There are no previous community-based studies in Indian youth assessing the prevalence of transaminitis.

Highly sensitized (HS) patients in need of kidney transplantation (KTx) typically spend a longer time waiting for compatible kidneys, are unlikely to receive an organ offer, and are at increased risk of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). Desensitization using imlifidase, which is more rapid and removes total body immunoglobulin G (IgG) to a greater extent than other methods, enables transplantation to occur between HLA-incompatible (HLAi) donor-recipient pairs and allows patients to have greater access to KTx. However, when the project was launched there was limited data and clinical experience with desensitization in general and with imlifidase specifically.
