Background and objectives: Lupus nephritis is one of the most common complications of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, due to the accumulation of immunocomplexes of antigens and antibodies at the renal level. In the laboratory, serum anti-C1q antibody levels have become an important tool for monitoring and management of this disease. This study evidences the levels of anti-C1q as a marker of renal involvement in patients with SLE. Patients and methods: The study wa...

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) are characterized by generalized vascular calcification (VC) and impaired bone health. We aimed to investigate the relationship between VC and bone mineral density (BMD) in chronic hemodialysis patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study included 40 chronic hemodialysis patients for at least 6 months. For the assessment of VC, abdominal aorta lateral lumbar X-rays were used, and for the ana...

Background: Partial nephrectomy is recognized as the gold standard treatment for localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). While open partial nephrectomy has long been a conventional approach, the advent of laparoscopic surgical techniques has led numerous institutions worldwide to adopt laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) as the preferred method. Although comparative studies have evaluated these two surgical modalities, conclusive recommendations favoring one technique over ...

Introduction: Urological complications after renal transplantation are one of the main causes of patient morbi-mortality and delayed recovery of renal graft function. Urinary fistula is a rare urological complication that occurs early after renal transplantation and may lead to graft loss and patient’s death. Here, there is a report that we have made to the observation of a patient with a delayed urinary fistula after renal transplantation. Observation: This was...

Introduction: Type 5 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is characterized by the combination of renal failure and heart failure secondary to an acute or chronic systemic disease. The most common situation of acute systemic involvement responsible for type 5 CRS is sepsis. The objective of our study is to determine the epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic profile of patients with acute and chronic type 5 CRS and to identify the prognostic factors associated with type 5 CRS. ...

Post-mortem examination is crucial in examining sudden unexpected deaths. Coronary atherosclerotic disease (CAD) is a cardiac entity associated with sudden death. A severe CAD could trigger a fatal arrhythmia or myocardial infarction. This report explores the coexistence of coronary artery disease and kidney stones and highlights the intricate relationship between cardiovascular and renal morbidities. This is a case of a 57-year-old man who died suddenly and had autopsy findings of CAD, cardiome...

Cardiorenal syndrome type 2 (CRS2) is characterized by chronic abnormalities in cardiac function leading to kidney injury or dysfunction. The incidence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) is reported to include about 50% of the general heart failure population, while the prevalence of HFPEF is still increasing over the last years when compared to the prevalence of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Its prevalence is higher in the elderly especially in females; in...
