Renal Arcuate Vein Microthrombi-Associated AKI

Renal arcuate vein microthrombi-associated AKI.

BACKGROUNDS AND OBJECTIVES This report describes six patients with AKI stages 2-3 (median admission creatinine level, 2.75 mg/dl [range, 1.58-5.44 mg/dl]), hematuria (five with hemoproteinuria), and unremarkable imaging with an unusual and unexplained histologic diagnosis on renal biopsy. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS The patients were young adults who presented to two neighbo...

Nephrotic Syndrome Associated with Renal Vein Thrombosis

Case Report: Circumaortic Left Renal Vein

Awareness of the variation and renal vascular abnormality at retroperitoneal space surgeries such as kidney surgery and transplantation is very important and necessary. Complexity in the veins development of the kidney area of fetus leads to a series of changes in the production of these veins, including the extra kidney vein, and the posterior aorta vein. In this case report, we present a case...

Hypertension and retinal vascular insufficiency associated with platelet microthrombi.

A 45-year-old housewife entered the hospital because of abdominal pain and increasingly severe hypertension moderately well controlled by methyldopa. Both complaints had been present for only two years. The patient stated that for many months a dull epigastric pain frequently occurred after meals. The pain was aggravated by eating, but vomiting eased it. She had lost 10 kg of weight in the prec...

Renal cortical pyruvate depletion during AKI.

Pyruvate is a key intermediary in energy metabolism and can exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the fate of pyruvate during AKI remains unknown. Here, we assessed renal cortical pyruvate and its major determinants (glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pyruvate dehydrogenase [PDH], and H2O2 levels) in mice subjected to unilateral ischemia (15-60 minutes; 0-18 hours of vascular refl...
