Cardiac CatheterizationThe Impact of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction on Contrast Induced Acute Kidney Injury
Introduction: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a significant complication following the use of iodinated contrast in cardiac procedures, increasing hospital stay, cost, and mortality rates. As percutaneous coronary interventions rise, understanding the role of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in predicting CI-AKI is crucial. This study investigates the impact of LVEF on CI-AKI incidence…

Rituximab in Adult Minimal Change DiseaseMechanisms and Clinical Research Progress
Introduction:Minimal Change Disease (MCD) is a significant cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, often leading to severe proteinuria, edema, and hypoalbuminemia. While corticosteroids remain the first-line treatment, Rituximab (RTX), a monoclonal antibody targeting CD20, has emerged as a promising therapy for refractory cases. This article explores the mechanisms of RTX and its clinical applications in…

Assessing GFR in Elderly Patients [99mTc]-DTPA vs Creatinine-Based Methods
Introduction: Accurately measuring kidney function is essential, particularly in elderly patients, where traditional clinical formulas may not always be reliable. A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Nephrology compares the gold-standard [99mTc]-DTPA method against common creatinine-based formulas to determine glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients aged 80 and above.

Persistent Symptomatic Hyponatremia Post-COVID-19 A Complex Case Study
Introduction: Hyponatremia, a common electrolyte disturbance, has been increasingly reported in patients recovering from COVID-19. Studies suggest that COVID-19-associated hyponatremia can be linked to acute kidney injury, the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), or secondary infections. This case study explores a 77-year-old patient with persistent symptomatic hyponatremia post-COVID-19, highlighting the multifactorial etiology and…
