anuria/edema

A case is reported in which exposure to cocaine and indomethacin was associated with development of fetal anuria, anasarca, and neonatal gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Cocaine and indomethacin may act synergistically to adversely affect renal, cardiovascular, and platelet function. It may be prudent

Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) is an increasingly important cause of end-stage kidney disease, and may cause hypertension, progressive renal failure, and recurrent pulmonary edema. Herein, we report two episodes of anuria and acute pulmonary edema associated with losartan treatment in a

In a 61-year-old man, who had undergone left-sided nephrectomy in the past, and who came with anuria and recurrent pulmonary oedema, complete obstruction of the right renal artery was diagnosed. Recurrent pulmonary oedema may be a manifestation of ischaemic renal disease. This clinical entity is not

BACKGROUND Multicentric Castleman's disease can mimic adult-onset Still disease. It is exceptionally associated with anasarca, thrombotic microangiopathy and dysautonomia. METHODS We report a 32-year-old woman with an association of oligoanuria, anasarca, thrombotic microangiopathy with features

In an attempt to reduce iatrogenic ureteral injury, urologists are frequently called on for placement of prophylactic ureteral catheters in difficult pelvic surgeries. Reflux anuria, which may be more appropriately termed catheter-induced obstructive anuria, has been reported as a complication of

Development of severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) in diamniotic-monochorionic twins includes five stages of increasing severity, i.e. recipient polyhydramnios and donor oligohydramnios, donor anuria, abnormal umbilical flow velocities in either twin, hydrops in the recipient, and

A case of diffuse neonatal haemangiomatosis involving the skin, liver, lungs, adrenals, gums, diaphragm, skull, and testes is reported. Intra-uterine onset of bleeding led to bloody amniotic fluid, severe anaemia, congestive heart failure, and hydrops fetalis. Intractable coagulopathy and renal

Giant intraabdominal cysts masquerading as ascites are not uncommon. We present a unique case of a giant intraabdominal pseudocyst that resulted in acute abdominal compartment syndrome, leading to anuria and acute renal failure. A 52-year-old woman with known severe cardiac dysfunction presented

We report the case of a 70-year-old hypertensive man with a solitary kidney and chronic renal insufficiency who developed two episodes of transient anuria after losartan administration. He was hospitalized for a myocardial infarction with pulmonary edema, treated with high-dose diuretics. Due to

OBJECTIVE Systemic edema is often observed at the terminal stages of cardiac or renal failure, with some cases showing a large amount of exudate excretion from the whole body. We investigated 3 such cases by comparison with those excreting less exudate. METHODS We examined the data of 3 male

A young female presenting with right flank pain, fever, raised creatinine and bilateral hydronephrosis was treated with antibiotics elsewhere, with presumptive diagnosis of bilateral pyelonephritis. She had partial relief in symptoms and her creatinine level showed an improvement. Three months later
