This case report presents an uncommon instance of spontaneous rupture of the renal artery due to Wegner Granulomatosis which is an infrequent autoimmune disorder distinguished by the presence of granulomatous inflammation, primarily impacting the upper and lower respiratory tracts, along with renal involvement. The occurrence of spontaneous renal artery rupture in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis is a rare complication, as evidenced by the limited number of reported cases in the existing literature. The present case underscores the difficulties associated with the diagnosis and treatment of an uncommon complication while emphasizing the significance of timely intervention in achieving a positive outcome.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with low-grade inflammation, which can be exacerbated by renal artery stenosis (RAS) and renovascular hypertension, potentially worsening outcomes through pro-inflammatory cytokines. This study investigated whether mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) could reduce fat inflammation in pigs with MetS and RAS. Twenty-four pigs were divided into Lean (control), MetS, MetS + RAS, and MetS + RAS + MSCs.

Excessive kidney mobility is an underestimating challenge for surgeons during retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESL). There is no technique approved as a gold standard procedure for reducing excessive kidney mobility. The study aimed to uncover predictive factors for determining excessive renal mobility by utilizing clinicodemographic characteristics and noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) data.

Background: Intraoperative physiologic parameters could offer predictive utility in evaluating risk of adverse postoperative events yet are not included in current standard risk models. This study examined whether the inclusion of continuous intraoperative data improved machine learning model predictions for multiple outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting, including 30-day mortality, renal failure, reoperation, prolonged ventilation, and combined morbidity and mortality (MM).

Methods: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) database features and risk scores were combined with retrospectively gathered continuous intraoperative data from patients.

Management of acute myocardial infarction in chronic kidney disease in Germany: an observational study.

BMC Nephrol

January 2025

Department of Internal Medicine II, Universitätsmedizin (Halle), Medical Faculty of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, Ernst-Grube-Straße 40, 06120, Halle (Saale), Germany.

Background: Managing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease on dialysis (renal replacement therapy, RRT) presents challenges due to elevated complication risks. Concerns about contrast-related kidney damage may lead to the omission of guideline-directed therapies like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in this population.

Methods: We analysed German-DRG data of 2016 provided by the German Federal Bureau of Statistics (DESTATIS).

Background: The incidence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in the general population ranges from 0.6 to 2.3%, whereas for specific high-risk patients, the incidence can reach more than 30-40%.
