Materials Methods: following cases were managed our department past 12 months. Two types telescopes (10- 5-mm) with inbuilt working channels used all cases. Results: 10-mm endoscope a...
Abstract Background and Aims Onconephrology is a rapidly evolving nephrology subspecialty that focuses on the interaction between cancer kidney. Our aim was to describe clinical activity of Nephrology Department in care center, 2-year period. Method We retrospectively analyzed patients observed by at our center 2021 2022. Demographic, laboratory data were collected. The statistical analysis performed with SPSS software. Results During period, there 26,015 admissions, 636 which required...
Abstract Introduction Arterial blood gas analysis is a minimally invasive technique used in our daily practice but not complication free technique. The aim of this study was to validate results from obtained the arteriovenous fistula (AVF)/graft as surrogate marker arterial analysis. Methods A prospective observational made 45 patients. We performed and AVF/graft were compared by paired sample t Student test. Results Most subjects male (68.9%) mean age 67 years (±14). Hemodialysis vintage 63...
Chronic kidney disease is characterized by immune dysfunction that increases predisposition to infections, virus-associated cancers and impaired response vaccination. The altered caused impairment of both innate adaptive systems, as well other factors are hallmarks renal disease, such uremia, malnutrition, chronic inflammation, mineral bone anemia. aim this article review the causes mechanisms lead in patients with disease.
Abstract Background Cardiovascular events in the young appear to be increasing. Conversely, this is not tendency reported older adults. Identifying risk factors of uttermost importance improve cardiovascular prevention. Material and methods Retrospective, single-centre analysis patients with less than 45 years suspected coronary heart disease who were subjected cardiac catheterization our centre during a 5-year period. Results conclusions A total 171 included median age 42 ± 6 which 82%...
Desmoid tumors represent a rare disease. The recommendations for treatment and approach of these neoplasms are sparse. There no specific imaging or clinical features which turns the diagnosis difficult. A 53-year-old male patient presented with complaints peri-umbilical abdominal pain associated palpable mass. CT scan revealed heterogeneous mass soft tissue density well-defined contour approximately 8.5×7×5.3 cm localized in mesogastric region apparent origin transverse colon. purposed...
Sjögren’s syndrome is a chronic inflammatory disorder mostly involving the exocrine glands. Extraglandular disease may occur in up to one quarter of patients. Kidney involvement rare, more often manifested by tubular dysfunction secondary tubulointerstitial nephritis. Primary glomerular uncommon. The authors present case 73-year-old woman with xerostomia and positivity for anti-Ro anti-La antibodies admitted acute kidney injury exudative pleural effusion. Biopsy salivary glands was...
Giant parathyroid adenoma is a rare condition characterized by the presence of an abnormally large tumor in gland. A 62-year-old patient diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism and severe nephrolithiasis leading to nephrectomy. During workup for etiologic origin she was found have giant 7,8x3,6x4,3 cm estimated dimensions, located posteriorly trachea extending thoracic inlet. She then submitted Kocher cervicotomy partial superior sternotomy. The diagnosis initially made throw laboratorial...
Abstract Background and Aims Nowadays, patients with end-stage chronic renal disease (ESRD) are initiating dialysis at more advanced ages having multiple comorbidities. Since the initiation of in elderly may not result increased survival or quality life, it would be useful to define prognostic criteria for those patients. We aim evaluate utility surprise question (“Would I surprised if this patient died next 12 months?”) as a predictor stages kidney (CKD). Method Retrospective cohort study...
Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIMS Anemia is a highly prevalent and modifiable comorbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which tends to aggravate as the progresses. The economic burden of anemia CKD high, quality life issues (e.g. fatigue, reduced productivity) common these patients. Data on prevalence treatment stages 3 4 (based estimated glomerular filtration rate according KDIGO classification) Portugal are lacking. NEFROPOR study aimed estimate stage or admitted Nephrology...
Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIMS Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are frequently exposed to contrast media through contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and/or coronary angiography, which may be used as diagnostic tools or part of pretransplant evaluation. However, the risk nephropathy limits use these imaging techniques. The authors aim evaluate loss kidney function after contrasted examination in PD patients. METHOD We performed an observational retrospective study a population with...

However, a wide spectrum kidney diseases has been described previous publications. We aim to characterize involvement Waldenström Macroglobulinemia IgM-secreting B cell lymphoproliferative disorders. Method retrospectively studied 7 circulating monoclonal renal histology showing evidence immunoglobulin deposits or lymphomatous infiltration. Demographic,...
Immunosuppression (IS) is considered a risk factor for severe COVID-19. It remains unclear if solid organ transplantation (SOT) affects its presentation or outcome. We aimed to describe the clinical course of SOT recipients hospitalized due SARS-CoV-2 infection. Hospitalizations COVID-19 in Infectious Diseases Department from March 2020 January 2021 were reviewed, and selected. Seventeen patients (pts) included, 13 which male, with median age 58 years.
