Membranous nephropathy with crescents.
Membranous nephropathy is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults and can be primary or secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic infection, or drugs. Rapid decline in renal function in patients with membranous nephropathy may be due to renal vein thrombosis, malignant hypertension, or an additional superimposed destructive process involving the renal parenchyma. Crescents are r...
متن کاملLow prealbumin levels are independently associated with higher mortality in patients on peritoneal dialysis
BACKGROUND Prealbumin, a sensitive marker for protein-energy status, is also known as an independent risk factor for mortality in hemodialysis patients. We investigated the impact of prealbumin on survival in incident peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. METHODS In total, 136 incident PD patients (mean age, 53.0 ± 15.8 years) between 2002 and 2007 were enrolled in the study. Laboratory data, di...
متن کاملLower plasma visceral protein concentrations are independently associated with higher mortality in patients on peritoneal dialysis.
Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is strongly associated with high mortality in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. However, its clinical assessment has not been well defined. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between combined nutritional indicators and mortality in CAPD patients. In the present retrospective cohort study, a total of 885 incident...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin A nephropathy associated with mesothelioma.
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) has been identified in patients with various malignancies. Although membranous glomerulonephritis and minimal change disease have been described in patients with mesothelioma, to our knowledge IgAN associated with mesothelioma has not been reported. We present a case of IgAN, characterized by progressive deterioration of renal function from normal and confirm...

ease presented to our hospital with acute fever, dyspnea, and oliguria. His vital signs were: blood pressure 100/60 mmHg, heart rate 120 beats per minute, and body temperature 38.5°C. Laboratory findings were: serum creatinine 2.99 mg/dL, leukocytes 21,230 × 10/μL, hemoglobin 7.6 g/dL, platelets 60,000/μL, and C-reactive protein 183.46 mg/L. Additionally, perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic...
