INTRODUCTION Renal parenchymal involvement is common in systemic lymphomas. In almost all cases, renal involvement appears to be a secondary process, either by direct extension from a retroperitoneal mass or via haematogenous spread in the setting of disseminated disease. Secondary renal involvement in systemic lymphomas is generally presented as multiple masses, but also as a solitary nodule. ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study evaluated predictors for patient and renal survival in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) with and without renal involvement. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS There were 273 consecutive AAV patients from January 1990 until December 2007 who were followed until death, loss to follow-up, or December 2010. Based on organ involvement, ...

BACKGROUND Primary systemic vasculitis is a rare condition in children, which often has a slowly progressive course with diffuse symptoms and is therefore easily overlooked. Early initiation of treatment can prevent severe kidney disease. The aim of this study was to survey the extent of renal involvement in children with systemic vasculitis at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet. MATERI...

objective(s)lupus nephritis (ln) is frequently associated with a poor long-term prognosis. renal biopsy is the diagnostic method of choice in this condition. urine biomarkers have been mentioned in the diagnosis of ln. the study,s purpose was to evaluate the performance of urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein 1(umcp-1) as a biomarker of renal involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus.mate...

Renal involvement is observed frequently in association with malignant gammopathies, mainly those related to light chain deposition [1]. Nevertheless, light chain deposition renal disease has also been described in non-malignant monoclonal gammopathy, namely in IgG or IgA plasma cell dyscrasia [2,3]. Renal involvement in IgM monoclonal disorders is traditionally described in patients with malig...

zellweger syndrome (zs) is a peroxisomal disorder with a multiple congenital anomalies, characterized by stereotypical facies, profound hypotonia, organ involvement including cerebral, retinal, hepatic, and renal. herein, a 3-month-old female with zs is presented who was referred because of increased liver enzymes (subclinical hepatitis), which was detected in work-up of her neck cyst, severe h...

multiple myeloma is a neoplastic plasma cell dyscrasia. patients usually present with bone pain, anemia, hypercalcemia and renal failure. unusual presentations include progressive bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, polyarthritis, amyloidosis of the tongue, and involvement of pulmonary parenchyma. early diagnosis is important for timely therapy. we present the case of a patient with clinical feat...

isolated involvement of the kidney is rare in hydatid disease and is even rarer in children. we present a case of primary right renal hydatid cyst in 6-year-old female child who presented with pain right flank of 4 months duration. the patient was managed by nephrectomy.

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most commonly encountered primary glomerulonephritis and it usually follows an indolent clinical course. However, hypertensive patients with proteinuria and renal insufficiency at presentation and patients with severe histological involvement are at high risk to develop endsta-ge renal failure. There is no consensus for the treatment of patients with I...

INTRODUCTION T HERE ARE A VARIETY OF CLINICAL CIRcumstances in which the respiratory and renal systems are simultaneously involved. Periarteritis, lupus erythematosus, sderoderma, and dermatomyositis may involve the lung and kidney; however, they initially do not present with acute pulmonary-renal manifestations, and multisystem involvement is present to suggest the diagnosis. Consideration of ...
