Background. Sensitization to human leukocyte antigens remains an important barrier successful renal transplantation. Materials and Methods. Herein we describe our center's experience with a plasmapheresis-based desensitization protocol for highly sensitized patients. Twenty-nine patients had positive T-cell or B-cell lymphocytotoxicity crossmatch against their donors. In some cases, baseline crossmatches were of high titer (e.g., 11 titers ≥1:32). Results. Twenty-eight 29 rendered negative...
Background. Renal failure as a consequence of eating mushrooms has been reported repeatedly after ingestion webcaps the Cortinarius orellanus group. But genus Amanita can also cause renal failure: smithiana ( North America) and proxima (Mediterranean area). Here, we discuss poisonings caused by other white amanitas . A German and—independently—two Portuguese patients completely with ring. Similar to intoxications A. or , clinical picture was characterized nausea vomiting 10–12 h ingestion,...
<h3>Background</h3> Alport syndrome (AS), a hereditary type IV collagen nephropathy, is major cause of end-stage renal disease in young people. About 85% the cases are X-linked (ATS), due to mutations <i>COL4A5</i> gene. Rarely, families have contiguous gene deletion comprising at least exon 1 and first exons <i>COL4A6</i>, associated with development diffuse leiomyomatosis (ATS-DL). We report three novel deletions identified AS, one which challenges current concepts on genotype-phenotype...
The dialysate bicarbonate (DB) influences the acid-base balance in dialysis patients. Very low and high serum (SB) have been related with a higher mortality. Acid-base also has associated hemodynamic effects these trial aim was to compare effect of DB concentration variation on SB levels maintenance hemodiafiltration (HDF) patients intradialytic hypotension interdialytic weight gain.A prospective study, 9 months follow-up, involving 93 patients, divided two groups: group 1 2 34 mmol/L 30...
Haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) is one of the two forms thrombotic microangiopathies and characterized by triad microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopaenia, acute renal failure. It has been associated with bacterial viral infections as well non-infective causes. We report a subject who presented HUS an influenza-like which was confirmed influenza A (H1N1) infection. There are reports seasonal influenza, but there have no reported cases after novel in literature so far.
Autogenous arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are considered the most reliable long-term vascular access in patients undergoing haemodialysis. Although AVFs generally require fewer interventions than grafts (AVGs) to maintain patency, some sites of venous stenosis account for a large portion repeated interventions. A particularly troublesome site within brachiocephalic is cephalic arch. Cephalic arch (CAS) has been implicated 19–77% fistula failures [1]. The unique architecture. In addition...
Alagille syndrome (AGLS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Notch signaling pathway. Multiple organ dysfunction frequent despite phenotypic variability. We report case of an AGLS patient with right heart failure and persistent fluid overload who started peritoneal ultrafiltration, without initial benefit. Possible pathophysiological mechanisms related to underlying condition, namely vascular abnormalities, that could help explain poor ultrafiltration are provided, while...
