Background: Reports on the performance of glomerular hematuria for diagnosis glomerulonephritis (GN) show heterogeneity in results and used urological pathologies as controls. We hypothesized that identification urinary acanthocytes (uACANTHO) and/or red blood cell casts (uRBCC) by comprehensive microscopic examination sediment (uMICRO) can differentiate disease from non-glomerular renal pathology. Methods: Records patients seen consultation acute kidney injury or proteinuria/hematuria who...
Key Points Vacuolar casts are a distinct type of identifiable by urinary sediment microscopy. Identification vacuolar is associated with the presence an advanced and severe form proteinuric glomerular disease. Background microscopy valuable diagnostic clinical tool for evaluation kidney unrecognized unique characterized nonpolarizable, clear vesicles various sizes contained within cast matrix, different from lipid casts, erythrocyte or any other casts. We aimed to gain better understanding...
Arterial venous (AV) fistula is the first choice of vascular access to perform hemodialysis in vast majority suitable patients followed by arteriovenous grafts (AVG). An iatrogenic can occur when a second vein adjacent graft punctured and needle traverses vein. In normal circumstances, this has no clinical repercussions does not need correction, prior reports, it helped maintain patency partially occluded but rarely lead thrombosis due reduced flow pressure lumen. We report here what we...
