A 19-year-old man was admitted to hospital due to fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain and faint. He was pale and icteric, awake with sufficient respiration and circulation. He had infectious mononucleosis complicated with acute oliguric renal failure and severe haemolytic anaemia with a positive Coombs test. He had a cold agglutinin syndrome. The treatment comprised intermittent haemodialysis, plasmapheresis and heating. He recovered completely after two months.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the effectiveness of the ANCA Renal Risk Score in predicting end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) among Chinese patients with myeloperoxidase-ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis, finding it to perform better than Berden classes.
- - A total of 340 patients were analyzed, with those experiencing oliguria (low urine output) showing significantly worse kidney function and a much higher rate of progression to ESKD compared to non-oliguric patients.
- - Oliguria was identified as an independent risk factor for ESKD, leading to the development of an enhanced ANCA Renal Risk Score (ANCA Renal Risk Score-U) that incorporates oliguria, allowing for
Hepatitis B-associated glomerulonephritis (GN) has been recognized for decades. However, only a few cases of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) in a setting of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) associated with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) have been described. Herein, we report the case of a 42-year-old Asian female with a past medical history significant for chronic HBV on entecavir, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and newly diagnosed breast cancer, who underwent elective bilateral mastectomy and breast augmentation.
