Despite continuous investigations in the diagnosis and treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), this disease still remains a critical condition with a mortality rate of up to 35%. The pathophysiology of SAP involves an important inflammatory reaction of the pancreas (mediated by inflammatory cytokines and immune system activation), causing severe local tissue damage as well as important systemic imbalances. IL-17 is an inflammatory mediator that have a pivotal role in SAP evolution, generating multiple interactions between inflammatory cytokines and significantly influencing the immune system response. Consequently, continuous renal replacement therapy/CRRT was added to the conventional therapy, leading to improved treatment …

Acute Bilateral Pyelonephritis In The Setting Of Newly Diagnosed Diabetes Mellitus: A Case Report, Jessenia Ariana Contreras, Satwinder Singh, Ramesh Alwarappan
HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine
Introduction
Acute pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection that starts in the bladder and ascends to the kidneys, causing inflammation of the renal parenchyma. Women are more likely to get infected compared to men, with diabetics being at higher risk. The pathophysiology of how diabetics are more prone to getting urinary tract infections/pyelonephritis has been studied, particularly the difference between bilateral pyelonephritis and unilateral pyelonephritis.
Case Presentation
This case presentation follows a 51-year-old Spanish-speaking woman with a past medical history of prediabetes, bilateral tubal ligation, and perimenopause. She presented to the hospital for abdominal and back pain, fevers, and weakness that …

Proton-Pump Inhibitors Related Acute Interstitial Nephritis. A Case Report, Mery B. Bartl, Reham Majzoub
Research Colloquium
Background: Acute Interstitial nephritis is a common and reversible cause of Acute Kidney Injury, accounting for 15-27% of renal biopsies performed because of this condition. Its incidence has been increasing worldwide. By and large, drug-induced AIN is currently the most common etiology, with antimicrobials and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs being the most frequent offending agents. The hallmark pathologic features are interstitial edema, interstitial inflammation, and tubulitis with a predominance of CD4+ T lymphocytes and mononuclear cells, with variable numbers of eosinophils. Patients with AIN typically present with nonspecific symptoms of acute renal failure, including oliguria, malaise, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting and …

Kidney transplant recipients require the use of immunosuppressive agents to prevent multiple organ rejection. Administration of immunosuppressive agents triggers an increased risk of impaired immunity and microbial infections, one of which is cytomegalovirus (CMV). Prevention of cytomegalovirus infection can be given as a prophylaxis or preemptive therapy. However, the efficacy of choosing prophylaxis or preemptive therapy is still under debate, thus we conducted this study to identify current approach in preventing CMV disease in clinical practice. A literature search was carried out using the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and Scopus databases with the keywords “high risk …

Management Of Asymptomatic Hypertension In The Inpatient Setting., Charles Meadows, Mehiar Elhamdani, Dial Larry, Murad Kheetan, Khaled Al-Baqain
Marshall Journal of Medicine
Hypertension is common in hospitalized patients and is most often asymptomatic. While there are no guidelines for management of such patients, aggressive blood pressure treatment, including the use of intravenous antihypertensives, is often undertaken. While evidence of benefit is lacking, emerging data suggest that treatment of asymptomatic hypertension in the inpatient setting is associated with adverse outcomes, including acute kidney injury and ischemic stroke. In addition, the intensification of a preexisting antihypertensive regimen at hospital discharge significantly increases the risk of readmission without significant improvement in outpatient hypertension control. Such a combination of a common problem with the demonstrable benefit …

Introduction. Fall is one of the main causes of hospitalization in the elderly, which is caused by several factors including gait disturbances, balance disorders, visual disturbances, chronic kidney disease (CKD), vitamin D deficiency, and so on. Chronic kidney disease can cause disruption of vitamin D metabolism, especially in the elderly population. This study aimed to assess the relationship between vitamin D status and the risk of falling in elderly patients with CKD who receive regular hemodialysis programs.
Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study by assessing the relationship between vitamin D status and the risk of fall in elderly patients undergoing …
Brash Syndrome Case Report And Brief Review, Kelly Schuitema
Brash Syndrome Case Report And Brief Review, Kelly Schuitema
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
BRASH syndrome is an acronym that stands for bradycardia, renal failure, AV node blocker, shock and hyperkalemia. The syndrome is precipitated by synergism from AV nodal blocking agents and hyperkalemia. The combination of the AV nodal blockade and renal failure leads to a cycle of severe bradycardia and hyperkalemia. We will discuss a case of BRASH syndrome with a 68 year old female who presented with generalized weakness and was found to be hypotensive, bradycardia, in acute renal failure with hyperkalemia likely related to metoprolol and amlodipine use.

Longitudinal associations between dietary fructose and sodium and systolic and diastolic blood pressure among US Black and White adults in the CARDIA study
Authors: Rana Elhamzawy, Daniel Domin, Dragana Komnenov
Hypertension is one of the leading risk factors for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Likewise, suboptimal dietary habits, including high fructose and sodium intake, are major contributors to mortality. High dietary fructose alone predisposes to salt-sensitivity of blood pressure, which is an independent, significant cardiovascular risk factor. We previously showed in our rat model of fructose-salt-sensitive hypertension that even a short term (4 weeks) feeding with 20% fructose and 4% …

Medical Student Research Symposium
Initial studies during the COVID-19 pandemic reported angiotensin converting enzyme 2 inhibitors (ACE2i) could be associated with worse disease course due to potential increase in ACE2 receptors which SARS-CoV2 virus uses for cellular entry. Subsequent studies refuted such concerns, reporting that continued use of ACEis and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in hypertensive individuals is protective. However, there remains a paucity of data evaluating effects of various antihypertensive medications, steroids, and beta blockers in chronic kidney disease (CKD) populations and in individuals with normal kidney function. This study was designed to evaluate the potential risks associated with antihypertensive medications and COVID-19 …

Renal Cell Carcinoma Of Pelvic Kidney With Atypical Nodal Metastasis: A Diagnostic Challenge, Roshan-E-Shahid Rana, Muhammad Hammad Ather
Section of Urology
Ectopic pelvic kidney is a known congenital anomaly; however, the presence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in an ectopic kidney is rare with the evidence available in the form of a few case reports only. In this case report, we present a case of metastatic RCC in the pelvic kidney which became a diagnostic challenge because of atypical contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CT) characteristics and unusual pattern of lymph node involvement including cervical lymph node in the absence of visceral metastasis. Because of its unusual location and uncertain vascular anatomy, ectopic kidney poses a surgical challenge. Owing to the rarity of …

Conference Presentation Abstracts
HIV-2 is distinguished from HIV-1 with low virulence, longer asymptomatic period, slower decline in CD4 count, low viral load, and low mortality from AIDS. While the kidney pathology associated with HIV-1 is well established, due to its low prevalence, kidney pathology in HIV-2 is not well documented. We report a case of HIV associated nephropathy (HIVAN) as the first presentation in a patient with HIV-2. A 65 year old man from Ghana presented within a few days of arrival to the United States with nausea, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, and bilateral lower extremity edema. He has a past …

Bone Quality In Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: Current Concepts And Future Directions – Part Ii, Kamyar Asadipooya, Mohamed Abdalbary, Yahya Ahmad, Elijah Kakani, Marie-Claude Monier-Faugere, Amr El-Husseini
Internal Medicine Faculty Publications
Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures, which is due not only to low bone volume and mass but also poor microarchitecture and tissue quality. The pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions detailed, herein, are potential approaches to improve bone health in CKD patients. Various medications build up bone mass but also affect bone tissue quality. Antiresorptive therapies strikingly reduce bone turnover; however, they can impair bone mineralization and negatively affect the ability to repair bone microdamage and cause an increase in bone brittleness. On the other hand, some osteoporosis therapies may cause a redistribution …

Bone Quality In Ckd Patients: Current Concepts And Future Directions – Part I, Kamyar Asadipooya, Mohamed Abdalbary, Yahya Ahmad, Elijah Kakani, Marie-Claude Monier-Faugere, Amr El-Husseini
Internal Medicine Faculty Publications
Background: There is ample evidence that patients with CKD have an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. Bone fragility is not only influenced by low bone volume and mass but also by poor microarchitecture and tissue quality. More emphasis has been given to the quantitative rather than qualitative assessment of bone health, both in general population and CKD patients. Although bone mineral density (BMD) is a very useful clinical tool in assessing bone strength, it may underestimate the fracture risk in CKD patients. Serum and urinary bone biomarkers have been found to be reflective of bone activities and predictive of fractures …

Diagnosis Of Early Delayed Graft Function (Dgf) Using Timp-2*Igfpb-7 Product In Transplant Recipients: Preliminary Results, Russell Leong, Cassandra Rodd, Kellyann M. Gomes, Solomiia Savedchuk, Paul S. Kellerman
Conference Presentation Abstracts
Background: DGF is acute kidney injury (AKI) defined as need for dialysis within one week of renal transplant. AKI is defined by a change in serum creatinine (SCr), however early recognition is limited by delay in creatinine rise. Accurate early biomarkers may lead to prevention or treatment of established AKI. The product of two novel biomarkers of cell cycle arrest, tissue Inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP-7) have shown promise in predicting AKI. In prior studies, TIMP-2*IGFPB-7 ≤0.3 had high negative predictive value, and ≥2 high positive predictive value for AKI. Aims - 1) Investigate …

Efficacy Of A Mobile Application In A Chronic Kidney Disease Population, Jennifer R. Zamora
Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with high healthcare costs, poor health outcomes and low quality of life (Donald et al., 2018). The US CKD prevalence is 15%, costing Medicare $79 billion in 2016 (United States Renal Data System, 2018). Self-management could reduce CKD burden (Jeddi, Nabovati, and Amirazodi, 2017). Mobile technology offers a low-cost, ease-of-access platform for chronic disease self-management (Whitehead & Seaton, 2016), potentially slowing disease progression and improving health outcomes (Jeddi, 2017). The purpose of this project was to utilize a CKD-specific mobile application, CARELogiQ, to facilitate symptom management; increasing patient satisfaction and decreasing hospitalizations and ER …

Honors College Theses
While commonly known to be the organ that helps with urine production within the human body, the kidney plays one of the most crucial roles in maintaining homeostasis. When establishing all of the roles the kidney has on keeping humans healthy, there is the question of how does the body cope when a patient is diagnosed with kidney failure. One of the more common treatment options that allows the body to continue to function without a kidney is by beginning a patient on a form of dialysis. However, as with any treatment, there will always be a list of side …
