The authors report two patients with renal failure due to total procidentia. Surgical repair led to an improvement in renal function. Mild chronic renal failure persisted. Thus the renal status must be assessed in cases of uterine prolapse.

Calciphylaxis is a rare but potentially life-threatening disease that is not yet completely understood. It occurs mainly in patients with chronic kidney disease termed calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA) but also affects patients with normal renal function. Although this disease's pathogenesis is unclear, it is associated with the dysregulation of calcium and phosphate and subsequent calcification of peripheral arterioles.

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition arising from a dysregulated host response to infection leading to organ dysfunction. Traditional clinical signs are often unreliable for detecting sepsis, necessitating the exploration of more accurate biomarkers. Furthermore, currently, recommended screening scores perform poorly, necessitating more effective biomarkers to identify sepsis.

Nephrology, NewYork-Presbyterian Queens, New York, USA.
High anion gap metabolic acidosis (HAGMA) is a common biochemical abnormality in hospitalized patients, often linked to conditions such as lactic acidosis, renal failure, or drug toxicity. A rare etiology, 5-oxoprolinuria, resulting from acetaminophen use, malnutrition, and sepsis, is increasingly recognized in critically ill patients. We report a 29-year-old male with a history of intellectual disability and normal baseline kidney function who was admitted with acute necrotizing pancreatitis and developed severe metabolic acidosis and acute kidney injury (AKI).
