Mar 17th, 2021 - Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is an uncommon and serious disease that manifests hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury. Genetic complement abnormalities have been shown to be responsible. Compared with the aHUS cau...

Feb 17th, 2021 - Acute kidney injury(AKI) and renal tubular damage(RTD), especially if complicated by acute tubular necrosis (ATN), could increase the risk of later chronic kidney disease. No prospective studies on AKI and RTD in children with type1diabetes mellit...

Feb 13th, 2021 - Delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation is associated with an increased risk of graft failure. We studied the histologic findings among adult kidney transplant recipients transplanted between January 2000 and June 2015 who had DG...

Feb 5th, 2021 - Acute kidney injury (AKI) and nephrotic syndrome (NS) are uncommon manifestations of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) mononucleosis. We report a 4-year-old boy with Infectious mononucleosis (IM) who presented with dialysis-requiring AKI and NS. Renal biop...

Jan 18th, 2021 - The two primary mechanisms by which iodinated contrast media (CM) causes contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) are the hemodynamic effect causing intrarenal vasoconstriction and the tubular toxic effect causing acute tubular necrosis. Inhib...

Oct 14th, 2019 - Urinalysis is helpful for ruling out intrinsic causes of AKI. Patients with intrarenal AKI will have abnormal urine sediment; for example, red blood cell casts are found in glomerulonephritis; granular casts in cases of acute tubular necrosis; and.

Feb 1st, 2012 - An acute kidney injury can result from a myriad of causes and pathogenic pathways. Of these, the two main categories are prerenal causes (eg, heart failure, volume depletion) and causes that are intrinsic to the kidney (eg, acute tubular necrosis).

Dec 4th, 2011 - Hepatorenal Syndrome Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a unique, functional form of potentially reversible renal failure that occurs in the presence of severe acute or chronic liver disease.[1,2] Initially, the kidney structure is intact,[3] although ...

Nov 10th, 2003 - Question How do you differentiate the diagnosis of ischemia-reperfusion injury from early acute rejection in a kidney transplant recipient? Response from Ron Shapiro, MD A kidney biopsy should be able to differentiate between early acute rejection...

Sep 17th, 2003 - Question We have observed a number of living-related donor kidney transplant recipients with good graft function who develop a sudden rise in the serum creatinine level between the fifth and seventh posttransplant days. Biopsies have sometimes bee...
