Article: Transient IgA nephropathy with acute kidney injury in a patient with dengue fever
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dengue virus infection can clinically manifest as dengue fever, dengue shock syn-drome and dengue hemorrhagic fever. Acute kidney injury as a result of dengue virus infection can occur due to various reasons including hypotension, rhabdomyolysis, sepsis and rarely immune complex mediated glomerular injury. However, glomerulonephritis associated with IgA Nephropathy in dengue virus infection has not been reported previously. We report a case of 15-year-old boy who was admitted with dengue fever and dialysis dependant acute kidney injury. Urine examination showed microscopic glomerular hematuria and proteinuria. Kidney biopsy showed mesangial proliferation with mesangial IgA dominant immune complex deposits and acute tubular necrosis. A repeated kidney biopsy 6 weeks after clinical recovery showed reversal of glomerular changes as well as resolution of mesangial IgA deposits.Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation. 01/2010; -
Article: Membranous glomerulonephritis in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis: a rare association.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the vertebral joints and soft tissues. Renal involvement, apart from amyloidosis, is rare in this disorder. Of the various glomerulonephritides reported in association with ankylosing spondylitis, IgA nephropathy is the most common. Membranous glomerulonephritis occurs very rarely in patients with ankylosing spondylitis, and only four such cases have been reported in the available English literature. Due to the rarity of this association, membranous glomerulonephritis may not initially be considered in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and proteinuria. We report the case of a 29-year-old man with ankylosing spondylitis who presented with pedal edema and was detected to have nephrotic syndrome. A percutaneous renal biopsy showed features of membranous glomerulonephritis with capillary wall granular deposits of IgG and C3 on immunofluorescence and subepithelial immune complex deposits on electron microscopy. No other secondary cause of membranous glomerulopathy was found on extensive investigations. Membranous glomerulonephritis is extremely rare in association with ankylosing spondylitis, the present case being the fifth such report. The exact relationship of these two entities (etiological or coincidental) still needs to be elucidated. The occurrence of this rare association needs to be recognized and differentiated from other more common causes of renal involvement in ankylosing spondylitis.Clinical and Experimental Nephrology 09/2009; 13(6):667-70. · 1.37 Impact Factor -
Article: Noonan syndrome: crossed fused ectopic kidneys and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis-a rare association.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Noonan syndrome is characterised by short stature, typical facial dysmorphology and congenital heart defects. Urogenital abnormalities are reported in 10% of the cases. We present a 14-year-old girl with characteristic features of Noonan syndrome and nephrotic-range proteinuria. She had crossed fused ectopic kidneys. Renal biopsy showed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Oral steroids were instituted and she responded well. The case highlights this novel renal presentation of Noonan syndrome.Clinical and Experimental Nephrology 06/2009; 13(5):531-2. · 1.37 Impact Factor -

Article: Acute pancreatitis with CMV papillitis and cholangiopathy in a renal transplant recipient.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Acute pancreatitis with cholangiopathy is an uncommon complication in renal transplant patients. Further, a combination of pancreatitis and cholangiopathy due to CMV disease in renal allograft recipient is further uncommon. We report a renal transplant recipient who developed acute pancreatitis and cholangiopathy with CMV papillitis of the Ampulla of Vater.Clinical and Experimental Nephrology 02/2009; 13(4):389-91. · 1.37 Impact Factor -

Article: Hepatitis B virus associated focal and segmental glomerular sclerosis: report of two cases and review of literature.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is estimated to have infected about 350 million people worldwide, making it one of the most common human pathogens. Renal involvement is among its most common extra hepatic manifestations and usually manifests in the form of immune complex mediated glomerulopathy, such as membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN), membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis and immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. Occurrence of focal and segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) with HBV infection is rare and only five cases have been reported earlier. We report two cases of hepatitis B associated FSGS. In both the cases, HBsAg was demonstrated in the renal tissue and both the cases showed response to treatment with lamivudine, thus indicating a possible causal association between the viral infection and occurrence of nephrotic syndrome.Clinical and Experimental Nephrology 02/2009; 13(4):373-7. · 1.37 Impact Factor -
