Impact of impaired renal function on kinetics of high-sensitive cardiac troponin following cardiac surgery.

Clin Res Cardiol

January 2025

Clinic for General and Interventional Cardiology/Angiology, Herz- und Diabeteszentrum NRW, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Georgstraße 11, 32545, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany.

Background: Impaired renal function can increase cardiac troponin levels due to reduced elimination, potentially affecting its diagnostic utility. Limited data exist on high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) kinetics after cardiac surgery relative to renal function. This study evaluates how impaired renal function influences hs-cTnI kinetics following cardiac surgery, distinguishing between patients with and without postoperative myocardial infarction (PMI).

Atypical symptoms can sometimes result in missed diagnoses, delaying necessary treatment and increasing the chances of serious cardiovascular complications. We report a case of a six-month-old previously healthy girl who had not been vaccinated.

Report of a Rare Case of Acute Abdominal Pain Post-partum: Spontaneous Ureteral Rupture.

Cureus

December 2024

Radiology, West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, Bury St Edmunds, GBR.

Spontaneous ureteral rupture is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain, particularly unusual during pregnancy or the post-partum period. While pregnancy-related changes like ureteral compression and dilation may play a role, no definitive mechanisms have been established. Clinicians should suspect ureteric injury in post-partum patients with free pelvic fluid.

Case: A 52-year-old male fell from his bike and sustained fractures of the right proximal humerus and the left distal radius, both of which were fixed in a single sitting a day after the injury. On postoperative day four, the patient developed features suggestive of acute pulmonary embolism.

Conclusion: Reports of acute pulmonary embolism developing after surgical fixation of bilateral upper extremity fractures are rare.
