Protective Effects of Hydatid Cyst Fluid on Inflammation and Tissue Damage in Rat Model of Type 1 Diabetes.
Int J Biochem Cell Biol

Immunology Research Center, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran. Electronic address:
Cystic echinococcosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a zoonotic disease with immunomodulatory properties attributed to hydatid cyst fluid (HCF). Given the immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory properties of HCF observed in other contexts, its potential therapeutic effects in diabetes remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the potential therapeutic effects of HCF on glycemic control, inflammatory cytokines, and tissue histopathology in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced model of type 1 diabetes.

Hydatid cyst (HC) is a zoonotic disease that often affects regions where animal husbandry is common and preventive measures are not taken. This disease mostly affects the liver and the lungs. Involvement of other organs, such as the kidney, musculoskeletal system, and intracranial structures, is rare.

Article Synopsis
- Hydatid disease, caused by the Echinococcus granulosus parasite, primarily affects the liver and lungs, with renal cases being quite rare and often asymptomatic until advanced stages.
- A 32-year-old woman with left flank pain was diagnosed with a significant renal hydatid cyst, leading to successful surgical treatment and no recurrence after follow-up.
- Early diagnosis using imaging techniques like ultrasound and CECT is crucial, as surgical intervention is the most effective treatment, helping to preserve kidney function when possible.

Article Synopsis
- A 34-year-old male experienced intermittent left flank pain and unusual urine clots, leading to the discovery of a large mass in the left kidney.
- Imaging revealed a complex cyst that was causing hydronephrosis, prompting surgical removal and definitive diagnosis as a renal hydatid cyst.
- This case underscores the challenge in accurately diagnosing renal hydatid cysts due to their similarity to other renal conditions, emphasizing the need for awareness in medical evaluations.
