1.Acute renal failure without oliguria.
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):13-15
Participants in this study were patients with acute renal failure who admitted ViÖt §øc Hospital. It is found that acute nonoliguric renal failure developed in 30% of the patients. It was diagnosed by blood creatinine level as 20 mg/L or 180 micromol/L and renal failure indices RFI 2 and FeNa2. Progress and prognosis of this condition were favorable. Most of patients responded with furosemide. Only a few patients need additional hemodialysis.

A 14 year old male from Quezon City Manila was admitted due to oliguria. He presented with 7 days of intermittent fever associated with malaise, photophobia with redness of the eyes. A few hours before admission, he developed repetitive vomiting with decreased urine output. He denied any muscle pain, change in his sensorium or seizure episode. He had a history of wading in flooded waters.

We report on a patient with matrix stone. The presenting symptoms were right flank pain and oliguria. The patient was in severe uremic condition secondary to the obstruction of the solitary kidney. A definite diagnosis was made by an exploration. However the surgical removal of stones resulted in only temporary improvement due to residual and recurrent stones. The literature is discussed.

BACKGROUND: Patients with a prior myocardial infarction who undergo noncardiac surgery have a higher risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality. Therefore, this study was designed to assess the outcomes after non-cardiac surgery in patients who had a previous myocardial infarction. METHODS: Ninety three patients who had a prior myocardial infarction and underwent noncardiac surgery were included in this study. The patients were divided as follows: the Complication group versus the Non-Complication group. A retrospective analysis was performed to determine if age, gender, ejection fraction, prior coronary revascularization, ASA physical status, operation time and type, perioperative vital signs, cardiac risk factor, preoperative medications and coronary multivessel disease influence the perioperative morbidity and mortality. RESULTS: Fourteen of the 93 patients (15.1%) had perioperative complications, of which 3 (3.2%) were fatal. All fatal patients had undergone noncardiac surgery within 3 months after the previous coronary revascularization. The incidence of intraoperative tachycardia and oliguria, operation time and the ASA physical status were longer and greater in the Complication group (P<0.05). Otherwise there were no significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of intraoperative tachycardia and oliguria, the operation time and ASA physical status influence the outcomes after noncardiac surgery of patients with a prior myocardial infarction. In addition, the interval between the coronary revascularization procedure and the noncardiac surgery has a major impact on postoperative mortality. However, prospective multi-center studies will be needed to determine the effects of several variables.

Aerococcus viridans is a rare pathogen in humans, with only six cases of A. viridans urinary tract infections reported worldwide. Nosocomial urinary tract infections with bacteremia caused by A. viridians are even rarer, with no prior reports of urosepsis caused by A. viridans occurring in the Republic of Korea. Here we report a case of urosepsis caused by A. viridans in a 79 year-old female nursing home resident. The patient was admitted to the hospital presenting a fever of 39degrees C, chills, and oliguria for two days prior to admission. Urine culture yielded a robust growth of 105 CFU/mL of A. viridians, with blood culture positive for the same organism. Following diagnosis, the patient was treated with ciprofloxacin intravenously for 2 weeks, resulting in clearance of the infection and a full recovery from urosepsis. Although A. viridans is rarely associated with human infections, this case shows that, under the right conditions, it can be responsible for severe infections like urosepsis.

The authors studied one case with rhabdomyolysis associated with acute renal failure, which followed acute CO intoxication. Oliguria, hyperkalemia developed within one day of rhabdomyolysis on left extremities. During the first three days of hospitalization, rapid increase in serum BUN, serum creatinine and serum muscle enzymes (CPK, LDH, GPT, GOT) were noted. Renal failure was controlled by artifiral kidney. Several areas of increased uptake of technetium-99m DP were noticed on bone scan. Electron microscopic examinations of biopsied muscle consist of disarrangement of myofibrils, loss or destruction of Z-line, difficulties in distinguishing A-band from I-band, and swelling of mitochondrias. These findings suggest that acute CO poising may be followed by severe muscle destruction and renal damage.

8.Severity Assessment of Acute Pancreatitis.
Korean Journal of Medicine 2013;85(2):116-121
Older age (> 55), obesity (BMI > 30), organ failure at admission, and pleural effusion and/or infiltrates are risk factors for severity that should be noted at admission. Tests at admission that are also helpful in distinguishing mild from severe acute pancreatitis include APACHE-II score > or = 8 and serum hematocrit (a value < 44 strongly suggests mild acute pancreatitis). An APACHE-II score that continues to increase for the first 48 h strongly suggests the development of severe acute pancreatitis. In general, an APACHE-II score that increases during the first 48 h is strongly suggestive of the development of severe pancreatitis. Contrast-enhanced CT scan is the best available test to distinguish interstitial from necrotizing pancreatitis, particularly after 2-3 days of illness. Mortality of sustained multisystem organ failure in association with necrotizing pancreatitis is generally > 36%. Transfer to an intensive care unit is recommended if there is sustained organ failure or if there are other indications that the pancreatitis is severe including oliguria, persistent tachycardia, and labored respiration. The early severity assessment is very important to appropriate treatment of acute pancreatitis.

This is the first case of glyphosate induced severe tubulointerstitial nephritis requiring hemodialysis without cardiovascular collapse. A 67-year-old man presented to the hospital 30 minutes after ingesting 90 mL of glyphosate herbicide. On arrival, his serum creatinine was 0.8 mg/dL and other laboratory findings including liver, cardiac, and muscle enzymes were all normal. Two days after admission, although his vital signs were stable, his creatinine abruptly increased to 8.2 mg/dL and oliguria developed. As a result, we started hemodialysis treatment and two weeks after initiation of hemodialysis, his renal function started to improve slowly. After discontinuation of hemodialysis, his renal function gradually recovered and serum creatinine level decreased to 1.6 mg/dL three weeks after admission.

One of the most fearful rare complication of ureteroscopic lithotripsy is sepsis. Since sepsis after endourological maneuvers usually occur immediately after procedure, it is important to pay attention to symptoms representing sepsis such as pyrexia, tachycardia, tachypnea, and oliguria. In addition to clinical symptoms, laboratory tests including white blood cell (WBC) count, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and urine and blood cultivating can help to diagnosis of sepsis. We present a case of shock after ureteroscopic lithotripsy, which was suspected with septic shock strongly.
