Exceptional Case AA amyloidosis due to chronic oxalate arthritis and vasculitis in a patient with secondary oxalosis after jejunoileal bypass surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of a woman with secondary oxalosis after jejunoileal bypass surgery for obesity, who presented with oxalate stone disease and renal insufficiency requiring dialysis. Thirty years after surgery, longstanding osteoarticular symptoms were recognized as oxalate arthritis. Eventually, she also developed oxalate vasculitis, which improved with corticoid treatment and intensification of dialysis. Work-up for kidney transplantation revealed AA amyloidosis on gastric and colonic biopsies. Since no other cause of chronic inflammation could be identified, it was concluded that the amyloidosis was secondary to oxalate arthritis and vasculitis. To our knowledge, this is the first report on this association.

متن کاملCalcium oxalate crystal related kidney injury in a patient receiving Roux-en Y hepaticojejunostomy due to gall bladder cancer
BACKGROUND Calcium oxalate nephropathy is rare in current practice. It was a common complication during jejunoileal bypass, but much less seen in modern gastric bypass surgery for morbid obesity. The major cause of it is enteric hyperoxaluria. CASE PRESENTATION We report on a patient here with acute kidney disease due to calcium oxalate nephropathy, rather than the conditions mentioned above....

Introduction: One of the important complications of peripheral venous catheters is suppurative thrombophlebitis that would be life threatening without treatment. In this report, we introduce a patient who developed purulent thrombophlebitis due to venous catheter in the upper limb after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Multiple abscess formation was developed on her upper limb after the th...
