Article Synopsis
- Renal aspergillosis is a rare but serious complication following kidney transplants, highlighted by the case of a 45-year-old man who had a transplant from his mother.
- After initially recovering, the patient faced kidney dysfunction and signs of systemic infection due to active antibody-mediated rejection, leading to a diagnosis of renal aspergillosis.
- Despite aggressive treatment efforts, the patient's condition worsened to renal graft cortical necrosis, resulting in the need for nephrectomy, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention in transplant patients.
A Case of NELL-1-Positive Membranous Nephropathy With Acute Kidney Injury Due to Bilateral Renal Vein Thrombosis.

May 2024
Department of Nephrology, Saraswati Kidney Care Center, Nagpur, IND.
Article Synopsis
- Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a major cause of nephrotic syndrome in non-diabetic adults and can be primary (due to autoantibodies) or secondary to other illnesses.
- A rare type, NELL-1-associated MN, poses diagnostic challenges and can lead to complications like renal vein thrombosis (RVT), which is not often documented.
- A case study of a 43-year-old male with NELL-1-positive MN complicated by RVT shows successful treatment with thrombolysis and emphasizes the need for more research on anti-NELL-1 antibodies and personalized anticoagulation strategies for better management.

Anti-glomerular basement membrane (Anti-GBM) disease is a severe form of glomerulonephritis (GN) that predominantly impacts individuals aged 20 to 70. It arises from the presence of circulating antibodies that specifically target an antigen inherent to the basement membranes of glomerular and alveolar structures. A unique subset within this category is termed atypical anti-GBM disease.

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is characterised by isolated thrombocytopenia which may be idiopathic or due to a secondary aetiology. ITP is being increasingly recognised secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection in the current pandemic. Here, we report a case of a five-and-a-half-year-old female child on maintenance chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia who subsequently developed ITP secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Department of Pulmonology, Alexis Multispeciality Hospital, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India.
Pulmonary complications of long-term amiodarone use are well known. However, acute pneumonitis causing respiratory distress with short-term administration of amiodarone although rare is associated with high mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment with glucocorticoids significantly decrease associated mortality and morbidity.
