proteinuria/hemorrhage

We report a case of nephrotic range proteinuria with 24-hour urine protein level of 335.7 mg/kg/day which developed following dengue hemorrhagic fever. Due to prolonged hypoalbuminemia from renal loss, right pleural effusion persisted and required pleuracentesis. The patient did not have classical

A 5-year-old boy presented with acute abdominal pain. Massive proteinuria of 10 g/1.73 m(2) per day was detected on standard urinalysis. There was no peripheral edema. Serum concentrations of total proteins, lipids, and creatinine and immunological investigations were normal. Two kidney biopsies

BACKGROUND Worldwide there is a need to develop simple effective predictors that can distinguish whether a patient will progress from dengue fever (DF) to life threatening dengue hemorrhagic (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome (DSS). We explored whether proteinuria could be used as such a

OBJECTIVE Persons with chronic kidney disease, defined by a reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria, have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease including stroke. However, data from developing countries are limited. Our aim was to assess the relationship between chronic

BACKGROUND Nutcracker syndrome caused by compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery is a non-glomerular cause of left renal bleeding and left varicocele. It has also been recognized to be an important cause of orthostatic proteinuria. METHODS A 17-year-old

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are mostly seen in immunocompromised patients. However, unusual manifestations or complications of acquired CMV infections in immunocompetent patients are rarely reported. CMV-related hemorrhagic cystitis is extremely rare but should be considered even in

OBJECTIVE Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a genetic angiodysplasia affecting multiple organs. Clinical manifestations include spontaneous and recurrent epistaxis, mucocutaneous telangiectases that bleed easily and arteriovenous malformations in many organs. Despite the anecdotal

ANCA associated vasculitides are a group of disorders characterized by the presence of necrotizing inflammation of blood vessels that involve venules, capillaries, arterioles, arteries, and veins. They are characterized by the presence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). ANCA associated

We report a 54-year-old woman with systemic sclerosis who presented alveolar hemorrhage. She noticed shortness of breath in May 1997. She was diagnosed having interstitial pneumonitis and systemic sclerosis with sclerodactylia of bilateral fingers in December. She developed bloody sputum and dyspnea

A 47-year-old man presented at a local ophthalmological hospital with blurred vision. He had been diagnosed with hypertensive retinopathy and renal failure and was referred to our hospital for treatment. A renal biopsy was done to evaluate pathology of high proteinuria, hematuria, and rapidly
