“…Genetic study of the patients and searching for circulatory permeability factors such as soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (SUPAR) are important to understand the underlying pathophysiology and monitoring the recurrence of FSGS ( 11 , 12 ). It has been reported that the type of dialysis modality does not affect the patient and graft outcome ( 13 , 14 ); however, hepatitis viruses transmission is higher in patients on hemodialysis while peritoneal dialysis has its own special complications ( 15 , 16 ). Despite the good result of transplantation in aged population, increased risk of infection and hidden comorbid conditions should be considered in them ( 17 ).…”

Context:Renal Transplantation is the most effective treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease, which is fortunately available in the developing countries, even for poor people. Nonetheless, the way forward should be the implementation of advanced science of transplantation, allograft monitoring abilities, knowledge about the epidemiology of renal disease in any specific region, awareness about the influence of ethenic and genetic factors immunosuppressant bioavailability, and post-transplant complications all strongly affecting the patients and allograft survival.Evidence Acquisitions:In this process we searched mainly in PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar data bases for key words of renal allograft monitoring, post-transplant infections, renal/kidney transplantation and Iran. We followed the cross articles to follow our main idea to find a connection between modern advancement in renal allograft monitoring and our practice in developing countries. Another focus was on the special infectious and non-infection complication that do exist in specific region and need specific considerations.Results:Implementation of modern techniques of immune monitoring, allograft function, awareness about the specific infectious and non-infectious disease in each region improves the quality of renal transplantation.Conclusions:We need to combine the advance scientific vision with local vigilance to achieve the best outcome in renal allograft recipients

Until 2018, 236 cases of acute pancreatitis have been reported in patients who underwent peritoneal dialysis. Here, we presented a patient with double renal transplantation with chronic renal failure, under renal replacement therapy by peritoneal dialysis, who developed acute pancreatitis with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, leukocytosis with neutrophil left shift which is complicated by pancreatic pseudocyst, candida peritonitis, fungal sepsis, overlapping of Acinetobacter baumannii sepsis, and pneumonitis. After the percutaneous cystogastrostomy drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst, changes from peritoneal dialysis to hemodialysis, various thoracentesis, and polyantibiotics therapy, the resolution of the sepsis state was seen. The particular aspect of our case is the various comorbidity risks, severe pancreatitis associated with candida and A baumannii sepsis, and treatment strategy that lead to heal this kind of the high mortality rate condition.

Non-canonical manifestations of familial Mediterranean fever: a changing paradigm

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Paroxysmal crises of fever and systemic inflammation herald familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), considered as the archetype of all inherited systemic autoinflammatory diseases. Inflammatory bouts are characterized by short-term and self-limited abdominal, thoracic, and/or articular symptoms which subside spontaneously. Erysipelas-like findings, orchitis, and different patterns of myalgia may appear in a minority of patients. In recent years, many non-classical manifestations have been reported in the clinical context of FMF, such as vasculitides and thrombotic manifestations, neurologic and sensory organ abnormalities, gastrointestinal diseases, and even macrophage activation syndrome. As FMF left unrecognized and untreated is ominously complicated by the occurrence of AA-amyloidosis, it is highly desirable that diagnosis of this autoinflammatory disorder with its multiple clinical faces can be contemplated at whatever age and brought forward.
