Unusual picture of pulmonary tuberculosis in a patient with chronic renal failure after renal transplant - a case report

Unusual picture of pulmonary tuberculosis in a patient with chronic renal failure after renal transplant - a case report

Patients with chronic renal failure, after kidney transplantation, have an increased risk of developing of tuberculosis. The clinical and radiological picture of tuberculosis in immunosuppressed patients is uncharacteristic, often suggestive of another disease process. The increased risk of generalization of the disease and the significant proportion of deaths in this group of patients prompts a thorough diagnosis of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

Hemorrhagic shock leading to acute renal failure - the use of continuous renal replacement therapy

Hemorrhagic shock leading to acute renal failure - the use of continuous renal replacement therapy

Acute non-inflammatory renal failure (ONNN) can follow hypovolemic shock hemorrhagic. Renal replacement therapy techniques, such as continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF), are key elements of therapy, leading to improvement in the patient's condition and restoration of the pre-event physiology.
