Acute heart failure in previously healthy young patients is a diagnostic challenge. We describe a case of severe acute heart failure in a 38 year-old patient complicated by acute renal failure and incidental abdominal mass.

In-hospital worsening heart failure represents a clinical scenario wherein a patient hospitalized for acute heart failure experiences a worsening of their condition, requiring escalation of therapy. Worsening heart failure is associated with worse in-hospital and postdischarge outcomes. Worsening heart failure is increasingly being used as an endpoint or combined endpoint in clinical trials, as...

background: heart failure is a severe chronic disease and has a negative impact on the health-related quality of life (hrql). in addition to preventing disease progress, one of the important goals in heart failure treatment is to improve the patient’s quality of life. this study is aimed to compare three generic to specific quality of life instruments that are used in cardiac rehabilitation set...

The care of patients with acutely decompensated heart failure is being reshaped by the availability and understanding of several novel and emerging heart failure biomarkers. The gold standard biomarkers in heart failure are B-type natriuretic peptide and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, which play an important role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of acute decompensated hea...

diffuse hepatic inltration is an unusual form of hodgkin's disease (hd). its manifestation as progressive hepatitis or with hepatic failure is even rarer and can be difcult to diagnose. we aim to describe an unusual case of liver failure due to hd. a middle-aged woman with a 10 month history of daily febrile episodes, constitutional symptoms and strikingly high levels of serum ferritin was admi...

introduction: we intended to assess the accuracy of re-expressed modification of diet for renal disease (mdrd) and cockcroft-gault (cg) equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (gfr) in chronic kidney disease in two different etiologies of acute renal failure (arf): acute tubular necrosis (atn) and acute glomerulonephritis (agn). methods: patients admitted for arf or the patients compl...

background: acute renal failure describes as a syndrome by rapid decline in the ability of the kidney to eliminate waste products, regulate acid–base balance, and manage water homeostasis. when this impairment is prolonged and entered chronic phase, erythropoietin secretion by this organ is decreasing and toxic metabolic accumulates and causes hematological changes include decrease of hct, mcv ...
