چکیده
Although coronary artery spasm is diagnosed by angiography using provocative drugs like Acetylcholine and Ergonovine, an exercise test following hyperventilation is an equivalent non-invasive test to diagnose this condition [2]. Thus, a negative provocative stress test ruled out the possibility of vasospastic angina in this patient. The Naranjo probability score confirmed an adverse drug reaction (Score 6) [3]. There is no previous association of iron sucrose with coronary vasospasm. In the Fenton and Haber–Weiss reaction, free metal ions like iron facilitate the production of toxic hydroxyl radicals from superoxide radicals [4], which can inhibit the synthesis of prostacyclin, influencing vessel tone [5]. This is a probable explanation for coronary spasm precipitated by the drug in our patient. The use of iron sucrose has addressed issues of anaphylaxis and infection to a large extent. Recommendation for higher doses and its good tolerability reduces the visits for iron treatment. However, it rarely poses potential hazards, the possibility of coronary artery spasm being one such complication.

Children with Steroid-resistant Nephrotic Syndrome: a Single-Center Study
Background and Aim: Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) accounts for 10%-20% of all cases of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. These patients are at risk of developing end-stage renal disease. The aim of this study was to determine the demographic characteristics, renal biopsy findings, response to immunosuppressive treatment, and prognosis in pediatric patients with SRNS.Materials and Met...
متن کاملFocal segmental glomerulosclerosis: a case study with review of pathophysiology.
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is a form of chronic kidney disease that causes 3.6% of end stage renal disease cases. While the cause of this disease is multifactoral, the Human Genome Project has identified some specific chromosome sites linked to this disease process. Treatment for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis may include corticosteroids, managing hypertension, and controlling prote...

متن کاملA novel heterozygous COL4A4 missense mutation in a Chinese family with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is the most common glomerular histological lesion associated with high-grade proteinuria and end-stage renal disease. Histologically, FSGS is characterized by focal segmental sclerosis with foot process effacement. The aim of this study was to identify the disease-causing mutation in a four-generation Chinese family with FSGS. A novel missense mutation,...
متن کاملOptimal management of primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in adults
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a frequent glomerular kidney disease that is revealed by proteinuria or even nephrotic syndrome. A diagnosis can be established from a kidney biopsy that shows focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. This histopathological lesion may be caused by a primary podocyte injury (idiopathic FSGS) but is also associated with other pathologies (secondary FSGS...
