Article Abstract
Renal infarction is a rare pathology, threatening the functional prognosis of the kidney. Given the lack of clinical features specific to this pathology, the practitioner may wrongly diagnose pyelonephritis or other causes of abdominal pain. Renal infarction frequently occurs in patients with thromboembolic risk factors, most often secondary to atrial fibrillation. We report the case of a 49-year-old patient, with no previous history, who presented to the emergency room with palpitations and pain in the right flank with an atrial fibrillation rhythm on the ECG, in whom abdominal CT angiography showed signs of a focal renal infarction of the right kidney. Later, the progression was towards non-traumatic macroscopic hematuria with preservation of normal renal function, which resolved spontaneously after a few days. AF was accepted in the face of significant dilatation of the left atrium, in consultation with the patient, and he was put on a beta-blocker to control the rate. Renal infarction must be considered despite its rarity to initiate adequate treatment and increase the chances of renal rescue.

Acute heart failure is associated with high hospitalization and mortality rates. A strong, independent risk factor for mortality in patients with heart failure is acute kidney injury, and the condition caused by this connection between disturbances in heart function and proper kidney functioning is cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). This case report discusses the role of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in the management of a CRS case with septic shock due to pneumonia.

Purpose: In cardiovascular surgeries, iron deficiency anemia and transfusion of blood products are associated with mortality and morbidity, prolonged hospital stay and poor patient outcomes. Patient blood management (PBM) is a patient-centered approach based on a 'three pillar' model that promotes optimum use of blood and blood products to improve outcomes. This study assessed the potential budget impact of implementing PBM in patients undergoing elective cardiovascular surgery in a private hospital in Turkey.

Objective: To explore all-cause mortality and the incidence of cardiovascular and renal complications among patients with young-onset diabetes in South Korea using a nationwide registry database.
Research Design And Methods: Data were collected from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort database from 2006 to 2019 for patients aged ≤30 years with type 1 (T1D) or 2 diabetes (T2D). The incidence rates of cardiovascular complications (myocardial infarction [MI] and stroke) and kidney failure, as well as all-cause mortality, were compared with those in the general population.

Background: Despite extensive research on COVID-19 and its association with myocarditis, limited data are available on readmission rates for this subset of patients. Thirty-day hospital readmission rate is an established quality metric that is associated with increased mortality and cost.
Methods: This retrospective analysis utilized the Nationwide Readmission Database for the year 2020 to evaluate 30-day hospital readmission rates, risk factors, and clinical outcomes among COVID-19 patients who presented with myocarditis at their index hospitalization.
