We describe a case of 68-year-old Japanese man with HIV-1 infection who developed acute kidney injury with prominent tubular dysfunction immediately after starting tenofovir-containing antiretroviral therapy. Antiretroviral therapy was discontinued in two weeks but renal function, as well as tubular function, did not shown full recovery even at a 3-year follow-up examination. Acute tubular necr...

The incidence of renal allograft rupture in transplantation is between 0.3-9.6%. major causes rejection followed by acute tubular necrosis and vein thrombosis. We discuss a case secondary to antibody mediated rejection, its management, the patient outcome.

Introduction: Renal Ischemia Reperfusion is considered to be one of the causes of acute renal failure (AKI). In addition, renal ischemia is an important incident usually occurs due to renal transplantion, repair of suprarenal aneurysm, hemorrhagic shock. A recent study reported that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important mediators of AKI. It seems essential to use antioxidant to decrease t...

An 18-year-old girl developed acute renal failure 24 hr after ingestion of potassium dichromate. Laboratory data revealed associated intravascular haemolysis. Renal histology showed features suggestive of acute tubular necrosis. She went into diuretic phase after 11 days of oliguria and subsequently regained normal renal function. Both direct toxic damage by dichromate and intravascular haemoly...

Snake bite is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in rural India, accounting for an annual age-standardized mortality rate of 4.1/100 000 to 5.4/100 000, depending on the geographic location [1]. Renal failure is common following a viperidine bite; the majority of the patients develop acute tubular necrosis and a lesser number may develop cortical necrosis. Renal lesions apart from acute ...

Introduction The natural history of acute tubular necrosis in adults has been well documented, but accounts of the condition in infants and children are rare. Most of the descriptions of tubular necrosis in the paediatric literature refer to older children (Riddell, 1951; Kaplan and Fomon, 1953; Wagner, 1954), but Pratt (1948) described two cases due to sulphonamides, aged 10 months and 18 mont...

We describe three patients with acute renal failure after the onset of gross haematuria. In all patients a presumptive diagnosis of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis was made and immunosuppressive therapy initiated. A renal biopsy was performed in two patients, which showed evidence of IgA nephropathy. Extracapillary proliferation was seen in a few glomeruli. The most notable abnormality w...
