The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis. AVF stenosis a common complication, often requiring balloon angioplasty. For recurrent stenosis, stenting may be an option. Persistent antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) positivity frequently observed in hemodialysis (HD) patients and associated with thrombosis stenosis. This study aimed to evaluate stent survival without aPL-positive patients. A monocentric retrospective observational was conducted on 35 who...

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a rare and life-threatening condition characterized by the persistence of antibodies occurrence multiple vascular occlusive events. CAPS currently remains diagnostic challenge requires urgent treatment. The diagnosis made difficult classification criteria used as in clinical practice, knowledge derived from retrospective data case reports, confounding biological features, its rapid onset mortality. absence prospective studies limits strength...

We determined nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences for 19 isolates of Burkholderia solanacearum, three the blood disease bacterium bananas, and two Pseudomonas syzygii, cause Sumatra cloves. The dendrogram produced by comparing all these revealed that there were divisions, which corresponded to results obtained previously in a restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (D. Cook, E. Barlow, L. Sequeira. Mol. Plant Microbe Interact. 2:113–121, 1989) total ribosomal DNA (rDNA)...

Objective Antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) nephropathy (-N) can be challenging to recognize due a lack of established classification or diagnostic criteria. As part efforts develop new antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) criteria (CC), the APS CC Renal Pathology Subcommittee aimed better characterize entity aPL-N. Methods We used 4-pronged approach that included (1) administering Delphi surveys worldwide physicians generate aPL-N terminology; (2) conducting literature review demonstrate...

Le microbiote intestinal correspond à l’ensemble de la flore microbienne présente dans les différentes parties l’intestin. Celui-ci est altéré maladie rénale terminale en dialyse péritonéale. Il pourrait jouer un rôle physiologie du péritoine et possiblement le pronostic Par ailleurs, jusque récemment, cavité péritonéale était réputée une stérile. De nouvelles études contredisent ce dogme retrouvent microbiome son sein non seulement chez patients mais également au stade chronique, sans que...

Background: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access option for hemodialysis (HD). The latter requires a remodeling process called maturation that can take up to 3 months. Maturation failure frequent complication associated with significant morbidity. prevalence of antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) positivity in HD patients high and may result thrombosis access. Recently, aPL persistent has been AVF retrospective study including 116 patients. Methods: We are conducting an...

The prevalence of antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) is high among hemodialysis (HD) patients compared to the general population and inconsistently associated with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) thrombosis or stenosis. association maturation failure has never been investigated. This study aims evaluate native AVF complications (thrombosis, stenosis, failure) primary patency in aPL positive HD patients. We retrospectively identified 116 AVF. collected profiles, clinical biological data potentially...

Foreign bodies such as implanted cardiac devices are susceptible to infections and may be involved in infective endocarditis. Exposure pathogens, by frequent use of intravascular accesses for hemodialysis (i.e., catheters or fistulas), combined with high rates degenerative heart valve diseases patients, both favor the development endocarditis this population. The mitral aortic valves predominantly implicated endocardial infections. involvement tricuspid is rare general population but can...

Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) disease is usually a self-limiting infection presenting with digestive symptoms. However, disseminated presentation involvement of secondary infectious sites observed. We report diagnostic specificities and challenges related to the management three patients invasive NTS (iNTS) locations. Among seven (age range 46 - 83 years), four (two extra-digestive sites) had at least one immune debilitating condition. Two were incidentally discovered iNTS deceased after...

This article is a summary of the new ISPD recommendations for peritonitis prevention and treatment. The latter bring definition clarifications, targets with respect to rates peritonitis. It also brings on management guidelines regarding empirical use antibiotics, dosage, treatment due specific microorganisms. In case doubt or need precisions, original (https://doi.org/10.1177/08968608221080586) exhaustive list references that it contains should be consulted.

IntroductionThrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a systemic disorder characterized by either thrombotic or nonthrombotic microvascular lesions, leading to microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and ischemic organ involvement.1Goodship T.H.J. Cook H.T. Fakhouri F. et al.Atypical uremic syndrome C3 glomerulopathy: conclusions from "Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes" (KDIGO) Controversies Conference.Kidney Int. 2017; 91:...

We report a case of hemolysis during hemodialysis (HD) session in 71-year-old man. His end-stage kidney disease is secondary to light-chain amyloidosis with renal involvement. Despite immunosuppressive treatment, his function continued decline, and dialysis had be initiated. Peritoneal (PD) was started but that converted HD because pleural effusion due PD fluid leakage. On the event day, patient presented respiratory distress 2 h after initiation HD. He developed sudden onset dyspnea...

Scleroderma renal crisis is a severe complication of systemic sclerosis with poor prognosis. Therefore, identifying precipitating factors essential. Among known risk factors, only few are reversible. On the contrary, anti-C5 therapy appears effective, at least in some cases. We describe 59-year-old man diffuse cutaneous who developed life-threatening scleroderma following ibuprofen administration. Despite aggressive management, he did not improve. Renal biopsy have displayed features...

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory that typically affects the bowels but can also have many different extraintestinal manifestations. One of those complications immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), which one most encountered renal lesions in setting disease. Another point focus for patients risk cancer, with a higher colorectal cancer neoplasia such as hepatobiliary, hematological, and urinary tract neoplasia. We present case young patient suffering from long-term subsequent IgAN leading to...

Chronic beryllium disease (CBD), or berylliosis, is an interstitial lung caused by the chronic inhalation of finely particulate beryllium, frequently mistaken for sarcoidosis. It rarely associated with skin nodular lesions, asymptomatic granulomatous hepatitis calcium nephrolithiasis. To date, it has never been reported as a diffused multi-organ disease. A 60-year-old Pakistani man, former excavation worker ancient history suspected sarcoidosis, underwent left nephroureterectomy papillary...

Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a facultatively anaerobic gram-positive cocci of the coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CoNS) species. Initially considered as commensal, S. has been found to be responsible for wide range disseminated infections in humans (bacteriemia, foreign-body infection, endocarditis, arthritis, osteomyelitis, …) thereby often compared aureus terms virulence behavior. We present case 62-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease, undergoing hemodialysis through an...

Introduction Removing the peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter after transplantation is necessary in order to improve quality of life transplantation. However, there no consensus on best timeframe PD-catheter removal transplanted patients. Early can lead absence access case graft failure. late associated with significant infectious risk given immunosuppression. Herein, we describe an exceptional refractory ascites secondary aortic regurgitation a cirrhotic patient, delaying his PD catheter....
