Abstract

Alpha 1-Antichymotrypsin (alpha 1-AK) and alpha-1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-AT) represent a defense mechanism to protect the tissues from proteolytic enzyme activity. We studied the implication of alpha 1-AK and alpha 1-AT in glomeruli of patients with different nephropathies based on the analysis of 52 paraffin-embedded renal biopsies with alpha 1-AK and alpha 1-AT antisera. The results demonstrate an intense alpha 1-AK glomerular staining in renal biopsies from patients with minimal-change disease, while a minor staining of this protein was found in the other nephropathies. No significant evidence of alpha 1-AT deposits was observed in our cases. Our findings suggest that when alpha 1-AK is lacking in glomeruli the defense mechanisms against proteolytic enzymes may not be efficient enough to protect the glomerular structures and limit the damage. Since alpha 1-AK is a reactant of the acute phase of inflammation, it may be considered as a marker of activity for monocyte-macrophages in glomerular damage.

Abstract

Conglomerates of food and mucus or phytobezoars composed of vegetable matter are sometimes found in the stomach in the general population. Reports of phytobezoars in uremic patients are, however, scarce. Here we describe 2 uremic patients in which esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed due to dyspepsia associated with weight loss and in which stomach phytobezoars were discovered. Theoretically, uremic patients should be at risk for producing bezoars. In fact, these patients frequently present predisposing conditions such as autonomic neuropathy, diabetes mellitus and delayed gastric emptying. Gastric bezoars cause anorexia. Anorexia is a frequent symptom in dialysis patients and is associated with malnutrition. In these patients, malnutrition is strongly associated with mortality and is quite difficult to reverse. Similarly, phytobezoars cause chronic anorexia. We suggest that clinicians working in dialysis units should consider the possibility of a gastric bezoar when evaluating anorexic uremic patients.

Abstract

The TINU syndrome (tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis) was first described by Dobrin et al. in 1975. Since then, more than 50 cases have been documented each with diverse immunopathogenetic and genetic characteristics. The aim of this report is to describe a case of TINU associated with reduced complement levels. We profile a 48-year-old white female with persistently reduced C4 complement levels during the acute phase of the pathology and with an unaltered immunologic profile. Renal biopsy evidenced a significant lymphocytic interstitial infiltration. Immunohistochemical studies of the interstitium infiltrates was positive for the presence of the T (CD3) markers (CD4 > CD8). Steroid therapy yielded a complete regression of the symptomatology with normalization of the complement levels. We suggest that it is possible to hypothesize that the various immunologic alterations associated with TINU, including the transient reduction complement levels, may be secondary to multiple inflammatory mechanisms which express themselves throughout the pathology.

11. Acute Renal Failure due to a Calculus Obstructing a Transplanted Kidney

Author

Fabbian, Fabio, Catalano, Carlo, Rizzioli, Emanuela, Normanno, Marcella, and Conz, Piero Antonio

Abstract

Nephrolithiasis is a rare finding in kidney transplantation and anuria could be the only clinical sign. We report the case of a 52-year-old Caucasian male renal transplant recipient admitted due to acute renal failure (ARF) and anuria. He reported no symptoms and a palpable bulge in the right iliac fossa corresponding to the graft was present. Ultrasonography showed hydronephrosis of the graft. A double-J ureteral stent was inserted with resolution of ARF. ARF with anuria and the presence of a palpable non-tender, elastic mass over the graft could be the clinical picture of obstructive ARF in a transplanted kidney.
