The ANCA-associated vasculitides, WG, CSS, and MPA, are grouped. . The syndrome is characterized by a triad of (1) asthma, (2) hypereosinophilia, and .

discussion l. monocytogenes can cause progressive and rapidly fatal infections in the vulnerable persons, with multisystem involvement. since this bacterium is not susceptible to cephalosporines, it will be better to consider effective antimicrobials in the treatment of the possible cases. case presentation a 70-years-old patient with chronic renal failure was admitted to the infectious disease...

background: chronic kidney disease is a health problem in today’s world and hemodialysis is an alternative method for patients with chronic renal failure. preparing provincial and national information on the situation of patients can play a significant role in improving the quality of services provided to patients undergoing hemodialysis. objective: this study aimed to investigate the character...

The purpose of this study was to define the outcome of patients receiving both renal replacement therapy and mechanical ventilation in 16 Scottish intensive care units over a 2-year period. Patients were identified from the Scottish Intensive Care Society's database. Survivors developing end-stage renal failure were identified after examination of the Scottish Renal Registry's database.

Acute renal failure is one of the side effects while using intravenous immunoglobulins. This complication is also observed with iodinated contrast media. Herein, we describe a patient with acute renal failure who received intravenous immunoglobulins and iodinated contrast media concomitantly. Both drugs are responsible for osmotic nephrosis. The same effect on renal cells may explain a synergis...

Acute renal failure (ARF) is a common event in critical patients usually taking place in a multiorganic failure context. This disorder implies a great clinical challenge. ARF could be defined as a sudden deterioration of the renal function that results in a loss of electrolyte, acid-base and fluid balance control, with subsequent accumulation of nitrogen wastes. Although ARF can appear in a wid...

The present study was aimed to evaluate the beneficial effect of Cystone syrup in an experimental model of glycerol-induced acute renal failure (ARF) in rats. Biochemical parameters, kidney weight and histopathological evaluation were performed to conclude the beneficial effect of Cystone syrup. Administration of single dose of 50% v/v glycerol (8ml/kg.i.m) caused severe renal dysfunction assoc...

Eighty-four patients presented with acute renal failure and features suggesting a diagnosis of intrinsic renal disease other than "acute reversible renal failure." Renal biopsy proved valuable in establishing the diagnosis, in indicating the reversibility of the lesion, and in helping to decide on treatment.
