In patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), functional vascular access is like a lifeline. Among the patients undergoing hemodialysis, arteriovenous fistulas are done in most of them. However, in approximately 15% of these patients with multiple access failures, the use of tunneled dialysis catheters (TDC) for hemodialysis has become an integral component of treatment plans. Unfortunately, in many cases of multiple access failure, it is difficult to get proper access especially if proble...

Lower limb nodulo-ulcerative lesion in kidney transplant recipient & #8211; An unusual diagnosis
Shikha Khandelwal, Pankaj Beniwal, Vinay Malhotra, Vartul Gupta, Nisha GaurIndian Journal of Nephrology 2020 30(6):427-429
A 56-year-old kidney transplant recipient presented with a progressive cauliflower-like growth on the plantar surface of the right foot and on workup found to have chromoblastomycosis, which was successfully treated by antifungal agent and surgical excision with no recurrence. Chromoblastomycosis belongs to the heterogeneous group of subcutaneous mycoses. It is caused by various pigmented (dematiaceous) fungi, which gain entry into the skin via traumatic implantation. The case is of interest because i...

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome in immune thrombocytopenic purpura & #8211; Beyond tenuous concomitance!
We describe an adult lady of chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (in remission) with antiphospholipid antibodies, who presented with rapidly progressive renal failure and had primary antiphospholipid syndrome nephropathy. The index manuscript titled exemplifies the fact that although the presence of APLA in ITP is known, however, management in the absence of clinical event remains debatable and may carry a future risk of thrombotic event/s mandating close monitoring with a high index of suspicion.

Uncracking a case
We describe a case of a young female adult who was identified with NCP by DUS, after a first CT had found no abnormalities. She presented with flank pain and severe hematuria causing a drastic decrease in hemoglobin levels. The management of NCS depends upon the clinical presentation and the severity of the LRV hypertension. The treatment options range from conservative to nephrectomy. Treatment decision should be based on the age of patients, severity of symptoms, and their expected reversibility. This case describes an underreported disorder that presents with non-specific symptoms, demonstrating the difficulties of the ...

Challenges in management of disseminated melioidosis with endocarditis in a patient with chronic kidney disease
We report the first case of endocarditis in melioidosis in India. Although infections are common in patients with CKD, melioidosis at the time of diagnosis of CKD has never been reported in the past. Our patient had multiple liver abscesses and endocarditis, and responded well to a 6 week course of ceftazidime and doxycycline, with the latter being continued for 20 weeks.

A 10-year study: Renal outcomes in patients with accelerated hypertension and renal dysfunction
Conclusion: Accelerated hypertension occurs among patients with both primary and secondary hypertension. It leaves permanent renal sequelae. Though some patients recover renal function partially, further progression is rapid, especially among those with chronic glomerulonephritis. (Source: Indian Journal of Nephrology)

Utility of Urinary Neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) in decompensated cirrhosis
Conclusion: uNGAL levels are elevated in patients with HRS-AKI and ATN. A higher uNGAL level at admission was suggestive of severe renal dysfunction. An elevated uNGAL on admission is associated with inferior survival. However, uNGAL is not superior to serum creatinine in predicting 90-day mortality. (Source: Indian Journal of Nephrology)

Primary failure of autogenous arteriovenous fistula: Critical analysis
Conclusion: Female gender was at a higher risk of poor unassisted AVF patency if their age was ≥65 years, had second AVF creation, loupe magnification not used or if arterial plaque was present. An absence of thrill immediately or at 24 hours or an AVF diameter ≤5 mm were independent intraoperative factors for poor outcome. On the contrary, diabetics, elderly males and intimal thickness were essentially noncontributors for AVF failure, except in few subsets. (Source: Indian Journal of Nephrology)

Contribution of clinically indicated repeat renal biopsy in Indian patients with lupus nephritis
Conclusion: In Indian patients with LN, chronicity markers and superimposed membranous pattern increased on repeat biopsy done for clinical indications. The presence of IFTA and TMA on second biopsy predicted response at last visit. (Source: Indian Journal of Nephrology)
