AI Article Synopsis

  • Renal venous thrombosis is often linked to conditions like nephrotic syndrome, hypercoagulability, or dehydration.
  • Treatment usually involves systemic anticoagulation, utilizing natural drainage via adjacent veins like adrenal or lumbar veins.
  • A case is presented where left renal vein thrombosis was successfully relieved through diversion into the inferior mesenteric vein.

Article Abstract

Renal venous thrombosis most commonly occurs in the setting of nephrotic syndrome, hypercoagulability, or dehydration. This can usually be treated with systemic anticoagulation, and the diversion is via natural draining tributaries, eg, adrenal, lumbar, or gonadal veins. Occasionally, renal venous thrombosis results from extension of a thrombotic process, such as a large renal cell carcinoma with tumor thrombus extension into the infrahepatic inferior vena cava resulting in thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and contralateral renal vein. Herein, we report a case of left renal vein thrombosis relieved by diversion through the inferior mesenteric vein.

Lower extremity arteriovenous (AV) access serves as a crucial alternative for hemodialysis when upper extremity options are no longer viable. While there are numerous reports on functional patency, limited information exists regarding complications related to venous insufficiency and postoperative quality of life. This study aims to assess the actual incidence of such complications and provide evidence-based insights for clinical decision-making.

[Effect of extra corporeal reducing pre-load on pulmonary mechanical power in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome].

Zhonghua Wei Zhong Bing Ji Jiu Yi Xue

December 2024

Department of Public Utilities Development, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450003, Henan, China.

Objective: To explore the effects of veno-venous extra corporeal carbon dioxide removal (V-V ECCOR) on local mechanical power and gas distribution in the lungs of patients with mild to moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) receiving non-invasive ventilation.

Methods: Retrospective research methods were conducted. Sixty patients with mild to moderate ARDS complicated with renal insufficiency who were transferred to the respiratory intensive care unit (RICU) through the 96195 platform critical care transport green channel from January 2018 to January 2020 at the collaborative hospitals of Henan Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled.

Objective: To investigate the association between renal mean perfusion pressure (MPP) and prognosis in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI).

Methods: Data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was applied to identify dynamic MPP patterns, while restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves were utilized to confirm the non-linear relationship between MPP and mortality.
