Abstract

Gioacchino Li Cavoli,1 Giuseppe Mulè,2 Mario Giuseppe Vallone,3 Flavia Caputo1 1Nephrology, Dialysis and Renal Transplant Department, Civico and Di Cristina Hospital, Palermo, Italy; 2Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular and Renal Diseases Department, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy; 3Radiology Department, Civico and Di Cristina Hospital, Palermo, Italy Abstract: Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic vasculitis disease of unknown etiology. Clinically significant renal disease is relatively common, and renovascular hypertension is the major renal problem. The assessment of TA activity is usually challenging because vascular inflammation may progress to fixed vascular injury without findings of active disease. Until now, the best therapeutic options have not been identified. This review highlights the current perspectives of renal involvement in TA. Keywords: arteritis, kidney involvement, large vessel vasculitis

Abstract

Wegener Granulomatosis is a systemic ANCA-associated Vasculitis, affecting small-to-medium vessels. Clinical presentation with simultaneous involvement of kidney and upper and lower respiratory tract is unusual. There are few histological reports regarding lung biopsy in WG because clinical and radiologic features are diagnostic. Sometimes radiologic findings can be unusual. We detected an instructive case of WG, analyzing clinical course, laboratory and radiological features, kidney, lung and larynx histological pictures. Besides renal biopsy, nephrology team performed larynx and lung biopsies because of unusual clinical presentation, computed tomography chest examination and relevant malignancy risk regarding following immunosuppressant therapy. WG is a point of interest for clinical multidisciplinary activity. Diagnosis of WG is a combination of clinical, laboratory and pathologic features. Collaboration between different specialities help to improve current diagnostic activity.

36. Calciphylaxis in chronic kidney disease

Abstract

Purpose: Calciphylaxis or Calcific Uraemic Arteriolopathy (CUA) is a rare systemic disorder associated with endstage renal disease and carrying a very poor prognosis and high mortality. It is characterized by skin necrosis and gangrene secondary to thrombosis and calcification of dermo-epidermal arterioles. Pathogenetic mechanisms inducing calciphylaxis are for the most part unknown. Methods: We report a case of calciphylaxis in a patient on long-term haemodialysis with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism. Despite therapies for hyperparathyroidism, the injury healed only after parathyroidectomy. Results: Calciphylaxis is an obliterative vasculopathy. The role of severe hyperparathyroidism in the pathogenesis of calciphylaxis is not well understood. A unique feature is the phenotypic differentiation of smooth muscle cells into osteoid-like cells. The vascular smooth muscle cells, exposed to high inorganic phosphate levels, could be transformed into osteoblast-like cells in patients undergoing haemodialysis with a poor control of phosphate intake. Conclusions: The uraemic condition contributes to vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis and differentiation into bone forming osteoblast-like cells resulting in medial calcification. Nowadays no effective treatments are available for the successful management of calciphylaxis., non disponibile

Abstract

A 72-year-old Caucasian man was admitted for dyspnoea and weight loss. He had hypoalbuminaemia (1.6 g/dL) and nephrotic proteinuria (18 g/day), mild renal failure, anaemia and thrombocytopaenia. Physical examination, abdomen ultrasound and computerized tomography scan showed splenomegaly (Figure 1a and b), pleural effusion, oedema in the lower extremities, laterocervical, axillary, ilo-mediastinic, abdominal lymphadenopathy and kidneys enlargement with changed parenchymal echogenicity. Axillary lymph node biopsy showed a non-necrotizing granulomatous process with epithelioid cells and rare giant cells. We performed bone marrow aspiration with diagnosis of B lymphoproliferative process. Search of amyloid in abdominal fat, immunological and virological screening, tumour markers and monoclonal paraprotein were negative. Due to worsening of renal function, the patient began haemodialysis treatment with regression of dyspnoea and significant reduction of pleural effusion and legs oedema. Renal biopsy showed a lymphoproliferative process. On pathological examination, normal kidney architecture was extensively replaced by lymphoma with a diffuse pattern (Figure 2). The neoplasm was composed predominantly of small lymphoid cells with mildly irregular nuclear contours and moderate cytoplasm. The neoplastic cells were CD20+, CD5−, CD10−, CD23− and bcl-2+ve (Figure 3a and b). We made a diagnosis of marginal zone lymphoma Stage IV. Following CVP chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone), his renal function gradually improved and it was possible to stop dialysis. The creatinine fell to 132 μmol/L and the nephrotic syndrome was in remission (albumen 31 g/L). There has been a progressive increase in the incidence of lymphomas seen over recent decades. Following the improved prognosis and longer survival of lymphoma patients, it is possible to observe more frequently the solid organ involvement. Kidney involvement can be related to obstruction, treatment-induced toxicity and, with more interest for nephrologists, to (i) direct infiltration, (ii) association with kidney malignancies (mostly renal cell carcinoma or urothelial tumours) and (iii) association with glomerular diseases (mainly minimal change disease). Primary infiltration is rarely seen [1]. Fig. 1. (a) Computerized tomography scan abdomen: huge splenomegaly (green arrow) and enlarged right kidney (red arrow). (b) Computerized tomography scan abdomen: enlarged left kidney (red arrow). Fig. 2. Renal biopsy: the normal kidney architecture is extensively replaced by a lymphoma with a diffuse pattern; the neoplasm is composed predominantly of small lymphoid cells with round or slightly irregular contours and moderate cytoplasm. In some fields, ... Fig. 3. (a) Renal biopsy: the neoplastic cells are CD20+ (immunohistochemical stain with haematoxylin counterstain for CD20, ×40).
