Acute Tubular Necrosis and Dengue
The recent article on “acute tubular necrosis and dengue” is very interesting. REPIZO et al. concluded that “serum creatine phosphokinase should be monitored in DF patients to allow for an early diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis and the institution of renal protective measures”. In fact, the renal complication of dengue is not rare and it should be kept in mind for all practitioners. The renal proble...
متن کاملBiopsy Proven Acute Tubular Necrosis Due to Rhabdomyolysis in a Dengue Fever Patient: a Case Report and Review of Literature
Renal histology results are very scarce in dengue-associated rhabdomyolysis patients developing acute kidney injury (AKI). We report a case of dengue fever-induced AKI associated to rhabdomyolysis with a renal biopsy showing acute tubular necrosis (ATN) and renal deposition of myoglobin. A 28-year-old patient who presented dengue fever (DF) complicated by severe AKI and rhabdomyolysis is descri...
متن کاملAlbuminuria in acute tubular necrosis.
Acute renal failure (ARF) is defined as an abrupt decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), as evidenced by rising serum levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine. Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is the most common cause of ARF. ATN is an acute decline in glomerular filtration as a result of damage to the tubules in the kidney. Sepsis is the most common aetiology of ATN, causing ARF in 20–25% ...
متن کاملAcute Tubular Necrosis
A rapid rise in creatinine following periods of hypotension is most commonly due to acute tubular necrosis. In ATN, urinalysis usually shows granular casts. Urine sodium is typically high due to tubular sodium loss, concentration is typically above 30 mmol/l. The urine to plasma osmolality ratio <1:1, the ability to concentrate urine is preserved despite sodium loss. Acute Tubular Necrosis is a...
متن کاملDengue Fever Serology in Febrile Patients in Southeast Iran
Background: Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease that has rapidly spread in all regions in recent years. There is little information on dengue fever epidemiology in Iran. High prevalence of dengue fever in Pakistan bordering southeast Iran emphasizes the need for paying more attention to monitoring of the disease in this region. The aim of this study was to study the dengue...
