Background:
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a relative contraindication to receiving gadolinium-based contrast media secondary to risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF)
Patients with cirrhosis frequently undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for hepatocellular cancer screening and liver transplant evaluation.
Most centers require documented serum creatinine levels within 10-14 days of performing MRIs on patients with cirrhosis.
Ascites can be readily detected on MRI without contrast enhancement.
Objective:
To determine whether the presence of ascites on MRI can be used to recommend against a diagnosis of HRS without knowledge of a serum creatinine level.

Isolated pancreatic tuberculosis is a rare presentation of tubercular infection. There are few reported cases of pancreatic tuberculosis diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration (EUS FNA), though EUS is often used in the evaluation of pancreatic cystic lesions. We present a case of a tubercular pancreatic abscess presenting as a cystic lesion in a patient with undiagnosed immunodeficiency. The abscess was aspirated by EUS FNA and treated with endoscopic drainage and anti-mycobacterial medications.
