The likely pathogenesis of the haemorrhage is over-distension of the stomach with tearing of a small blood vessel in the lesser omentum. The blood tracks inferiorly, stripping peritoneum from t...
متن کاملRapidly progressive glomerulonephritis associated with nontuberculous mycobacteria.
A 72-year-old woman with a past medical history of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary disease was admitted because of hemoptysis and acute renal failure. A chest X-ray showed interstitial infiltration over bilateral lung fields. Kidney biopsy showed immune complex-mediated acute diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis with 48% crescents and glomerular endocapillary hypercellularity wi...
متن کاملRapidly progressive glomerulonephritis complicating primary AL amyloidosis and multiple myeloma.
Crescentic glomerulonephritis is a rare complication of AA amyloidosis. There are no clinical case reports of this complicating AL amyloidosis. A 67-year-old man developed rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) on a background of primary AL amyloidosis and IgGkappa multiple myeloma. Investigations for causes of glomerulonephritis were negative, and a renal biopsy confirmed crescentic glo...
