"Nephritic syndrome"

Myocardial Function in Egyptian Pediatric Patients With Acute Nephritic Syndrome. Acute nephritic syndrome (ANS) is the most common cause of hypertensive heart failure in pediatric population. There are few publications on myocardial evaluation using electrocardiographic and echocardiographic data in pediatric patients with ANS. This study aimed to evaluate myocardial function

Actinomyces urinae sp. nov., isolated from 13-year-old girl affected by nephritic syndrome Here, we report the main characteristics of Actinomyces urinae strain Marseille-P2225(T) (CSURP2225) isolated from a human urine sample.

as to whether vitamin D increases or decreases the risk of nephritic syndrome (RR 0.17, 95% CI 0.01 to 4.06; 1 trial, 135 women, very low-certainty evidence). However, given the scarcity of data in general for maternal adverse events, no firm conclusions can be drawn.Supplementation with vitamin D and calcium versus placebo/no interventionNine trials involving 1916 pregnant women were included

may reduce the risk of developing GDM compared with placebo or no vitamin D (five trials, 1744 women; RR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.28 to 0.88; low-certainty evidence, downgraded for concerns about applicability) (see Annex 3 for forest plot).Maternal mortality: The evidence on the effect of vitamin D on maternal mortality is of very low certainty.Side effects: The evidence on the relative risks of nephritic syndrome and hypercalcaemia with vitamin D supplementation is also of very low certainty. Fetal/neonatal outcomesLow birthweight (less than 2500 g): It is unclear whether or not vitamin D makes any difference to the risk of having a low birthweight neonate compared with placebo or no vitamin D, as the certainty of the evidence is very low. Preterm birth: The evidence suggests that vitamin D probably

), and peripheral oedema. Hyperlipidaemia and thrombotic disease are also frequently seen. Despite heavy proteinuria and lipiduria, the urine contains few cells or casts. This is in contrast to nephritic syndrome, which is typically defined as the presence of acute kidney injury (renal dysfunction), hypertension, and an active urinary sediment (red cells and red cell casts).Nephrotic syndrome is not a single and nephritic syndrome, helps to narrow the differential diagnosis. The differential diagnosis is generally the same for patients with nephrotic syndrome and for nephrotic-range proteinuria.Common differential diagnoses of nephrotic syndrome include minimal change nephropathy, FSGS, membranous nephropathy, diabetic nephropathy, primary glomerular diseases (e.g., IgA nephropathy), fibrillary glomerulopathies

by multiple polyps of colon. The patient with mutation (c.1574 A > G) had an anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV)-like clinical manifestations, including multisystemic inflammation, acute nephritic syndrome, and positive perinuclear ANCA (p-ANCA), thus the diagnosis of ANCA-AAV was considered. Our study expands the spectrums of clinical phenotype and genotype of APDS

for reference. A 32-year-old man presented to our department with skin laxity and nephritic syndrome, accompanied by an significant increase of serum creatinine and received short-term hemodialysis treatment. Both the blood and urine free light chain ratio increased significantly. Renal biopsy showed mesangial nodular glomerulosclerosis on light microscopy, and immunofluorescence staining showed positivity

Acute glomerulonephritis. Glomerulonephritis is a heterogeneous group of disorders that present with a combination of haematuria, proteinuria, hypertension, and reduction in kidney function to a variable degree. Acute presentation with full blown nephritic syndrome or rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is uncommon and is mainly restricted to patients with post-infectious glomerulonephritis

Coexistence of cryoglobulinemia and ANCA-associated vasculitis in a chronic brucellosis patient -a case report and literature review. The renal involvement of brucellosis is not common. Here we reported a rare case of chronic brucellosis accompanied by nephritic syndrome, acute kidney injury, the coexistence of cryoglobulinemia and antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) superimposed on iliac aortic stent implantation. The diagnosis and treatment of the case are instructive. A 49-year-old man with hypertension and iliac aortic stent implantation was admitted for unexplained renal failure with signs of nephritic syndrome, congestive heart failure, moderate anemia and livedoid change in the left sole with pain. His past history included chronic brucellosis

), shock (aOR = 3.88, 95% CI: 1.85-8.12), exposure to nephrotoxic drugs (aOR = 4.09; 95% CI: 1. 45- 11.59), sepsis or infection aOR = 3.36; 95% CI: 1.42-7.99), nephritic syndrome (aOR = 2.97; 95% CI:1.19, 7.43), and use of mechanical ventilation aOR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.12, 4.51) were significantly associated factors with acute kidney injury. The diagnosis of sepsis or infection, hypertension, shock , nephrotoxic drugs, demand for mechanical ventilation support, and nephritic syndrome increased the risk of AKI among critically ill children. Multiple risk factors for AKI are associated with illness and severity. All measures that ensure adequate renal perfusion must be taken in critically ill children with identified risk factors to prevent the development of AKI.

, the detailed mechanism leading to the complication of TMA in PSAGN patients remains to be clarified. In contrast, infection with neuraminidase-producing Streptococcus pneumoniae is a well-known cause of TMA, and it has been reported that transient positivity of the direct Coombs test is observed in up to 90% of such patients. A 44-year-old man was hospitalized for acute nephritic syndrome 3 weeks after

retrospectively identified 81 patients with biopsy-proven non-hepatitis CryoGN, including 22 with seronegative CryoGN. The median age was 61 years and 76% presented with nephritic syndrome. A hematologic condition was found in 89% of patients, including monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (65%) and symptomatic lymphoproliferative disorder (35%). In the seropositive group, 56% had type II, 29% type I

: nephrotic syndrome and glomerulonephritis, i.e. nephritic syndrome.3What is the pathophysiology and clinical presentation?Periorbital edema, one of the first clinical signs of nephrotic syndrome.In nephrotic syndrome, leakage of plasma proteins from glomeruli is the primary pathogenic mechanism. This leakage can result in proteinuria and hypoalbuminemia. Because albumin is a major contributor to oncotic as nephritic syndrome, inflammation causes damage to the glomerular capillary walls, resulting in increased permeability to proteins, red blood cells, and white blood cells. As such, glomerulonephritis presents with gross hematuria, proteinuria (which may also cause edema), and leukocyturia. Inflammation also reduces blood flow through the glomerular capillaries, leading to acute kidney injury (oliguria

spectrum and clinicopathologic correlations. We retrospectively analyzed kidney biopsy data from 2008 to 2017 and compared them to that between 1995 and 2005. The mean age of patients was 9.84 ± 5.4 years. Male:female ratio was 1.2:1. The main indications for biopsy were pure nephrotic syndrome without hematuria (25.9%), non-nephrotic proteinuria with haematuria (22.2%), nephritic syndrome with nephrotic
