The development of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) after renal graft biopsy is a rare complication, it is associated in most cases with spontaneous resolution. However, interventional therapies are required in some cases, to prevent graft loss. Selective embolization has been described as an alternative treatment. In the present study, we describes our experience on AVF after biopsy in kidney transplan...

A 30-year-old woman with history of passage of stones since childhood presented with oliguria and pedal edema for 10 days. She had hypertension with a creatinine of 4.1 mg/dL. Evaluation showed presence of bilateral multiple renal calculi with features of chronicity of kidney disease. Metabolic work-up for nephrolithiasis turned out to be negative and eventually renal biopsy revealed features of chronic interstitial nephritis with greenish brown refractile crystals in the tubular lumen ...

Arterial thrombosis associated with factor V leiden mutation in a child with nephrotic syndrome
We report a case of arterial thrombosis associated with factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation in a young girl with NS. Screening for inherited thrombophilias such as FVL mutation may be beneficial for NS patients with thromboembolic vascular events not explained by conventional risk factors.

Plasmablastic Lymphoma Involving Kidney in an HIV Positive Patient: A Case Report with Review of the Literature
Sulav Sapkota, Mona Priyadarshini, Diganta Hazarika, Shivakumar Swamy, Radheshyam NaikIndian Journal of Nephrology 2021 31(2):176-178
Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is an aggressive lymphoma commonly associated with HIV infection. It most commonly presents in the oral cavity and rarely involves the kidney. Herein, we report a case of HIV positive male with renal involvement of PBL. The patient presented with unilateral severe hydronephrosis with unaltered renal functions. Despite aggressive management, there was an early relapse and the patient died within 2 years of the diagnosis. Despite the recent advances in the therapy...

First reported case of rhabdomyolysis associated with concomitant use of cyclosporin, diltiazem, and simvastatin
Kar Wah Fuah, Christopher LimIndian Journal of Nephrology 2021 31(2):173-175
Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome with a wide range of symptoms ranging from asymptomatic raised serum creatinine kinase to life-threatening metabolic disturbances and acute kidney injury. A careful history taking and high clinical suspicion on drug-drug interaction are crucial to identify the etiology of rhabdomyolysis. Here, we present a case of rhabdomyolysis due to a rare drug-to-drug interaction of simvastatin, diltiazem, and cyclosporin in a patient with IgA nephropathy. Early renal replacement therapy was initiated, and the insulting agents wer...

First successful three-way kidney exchange transplantation in North India
We report our first successful three-way kidney exchange transplantation from North India. As deceased donor program is still in evolving stage in most parts of our country and transplant with desensitization protocol is associated with financial constraints, infections, and lack of availability in many centers, kidney paired donation is a valuable approach to expand the donor pool.

Etiological spectrum and clinical features in 215 patients of crescentic glomerulonephritis: Is it different in India ?
Conclusion: Immune-complex mediated is the commonest etiology of CrGN in India. Anti-GBM disease has the worst prognosis followed by pauci-immune and immune-complex mediated CrGN. Raised serum creatinine levels (>5mg%) and the degree of glomerulosclerosis at diagnosis were predictors of poor renal survival. High index of suspicion and prompt diagnosis can improve the outcome in these patients. (Source: Indian Journal of Nephrology)

A study of association of urinary nephrin with albuminuria in patients with diabetic nephropathy
Conclusion: Albuminuria has been used as an independent predictor of diabetic nephropathy. The statistical significant difference between the groups inferred that urinary nephrin excretion increased even in the stage of normoalbuminuria. Nephrin expression and its phosphorylation get altered by hyperglycaemia, contributing to renal damage. Nephrin was found to be a sensitive marker of early kidney dysfunction in diabetic patients.
