Purpose: To report the occurrence of acute postrenal kidney failure caused by external ureteral obstruction after iliac venous stent placement.

Case Report: A 73-year-old male patient presented with a chronic swelling and feeling of heaviness of his right leg. The presence of venous thrombosis was excluded by duplex ultrasound (DUS).

Donor hepatitis C status is not associated with an increased risk of acute rejection in kidney transplantation.

Department of Surgery, Division of Multiorgan Transplant and Hepatobiliary Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch, 301 University Boulevard, Galveston, TX, 77555-0655, USA.

Introduction: In renal transplantation, donor hepatitis C virus (HCV) status is crucial to consider when selecting a recipient given the high likelihood of transmission. We analyzed the effect of donor HCV status on post-renal transplant rejection and virologic infectious outcomes using electronic health record data from multiple US health care organizations.

Methods: Using real world data from electronic health records of renal transplant recipients, a propensity score-matched case-control study of one-year renal transplant outcomes was conducted on cohorts of HCV-negative recipients who received an organ from an HCV-positive donor (HCV D+/R-) versus from an HCV-negative donor (HCV D-/R-).

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is typically classified as prerenal, renal, or postrenal in etiology, with postrenal often referring to obstructive causes. However, certain uncommon conditions, such as intraperitoneal urinary leaks, may not fit clearly into these categories. In patients with a recent history of pelvic procedure, a complication such as intraperitoneal urinary leak can mimic AKI due to urine reabsorption across the peritoneum.

Introduction Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is often associated with mortality and significant morbidity following renal transplantation leading to graft rejection or dysfunction. Primary CMV infection refers to the first detection of the virus in a person who has no prior evidence of CMV exposure before transplantation. CMV has a unique property called latency.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a widespread issue caused by various factors and is often difficult to detect early, despite its severity.
  • This study used gene data and machine learning to identify biomarkers related to AKI, particularly focusing on ferroptosis and validating findings through experimental models.
  • The research highlighted three biomarkers (AEBP2, MDM2, NR4A1) as effective for diagnosing AKI, and their combined usage improves detection capabilities, potentially benefiting clinical practices for patient care.
