๐Ÿ”ฅ Letโ€™s discuss an interesting case . Already discussed in #ECNeph . Trying to consolidate it.
๐Ÿฅ I was called in for a nephrology consult for a patient admitted under pulmonology ๐Ÿซ
๐Ÿฉธ Microscopic hematuria ++
๐Ÿง  What do we think in a patient with hemoptysis?
๐Ÿซ˜ The nephrologist brain in me thought it narrower. The first hit
๐Ÿงช what does the lab has to say ?
Numerous ๐Ÿฉธred blood cells in urine and pulmonary haemorrhage .
๐Ÿ’กI was sure i hit the right diagnosis ๐ŸŽฏ
๐Ÿ“บ how can a nephrologist proceed without an Ultrasound kidney
โœ…Nothing significant
๐Ÿซ˜ Now its nephrology time to crack the case .
๐Ÿ›๏ธ Patient got re admitted
๐Ÿ’ฆ oliguric renal failure
โœŒ๏ธ What is the clinical diagnosis ?
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ PR3 ANCA , MPO ANCA Anti GBM - Negative, C3 - Normal
๐ŸŸข I told it could still be ANCA negative Paucimmune crescentic GN with pulmonary haemorrhage
โ“What next ? Seeing is believing
๐Ÿ’Š Empirical steroids
๐Ÿ”ซ renal biopsy report ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ
๐Ÿ˜จ quite unexpected
๐Ÿšจ when things donโ€™t go the way you think its not a bad idea to go back to the patient and the previous reports
๐Ÿคฏ Rechecking the reports
๐ŸŽฏ๐ŸŽฏ We got down to the diagnosis at the end โœŒ๏ธโœŒ๏ธ
๐Ÿง๐Ÿง but there is a problem ๐Ÿšจ
๐ŸŒž We went ahead with CT Angio โ€”> the CT revelation ๐Ÿ‘Œ
๐Ÿ“ˆLetโ€™s see how the disease progressed ๐Ÿ”ด๐Ÿ”ด
๐Ÿ”– whatโ€™s the status of the patient ?
๐ŸŒž what could be the reason for renal vein thrombosis ?
๐Ÿ”ƒ when in doubt get back to the patient and old reports
๐Ÿ’ก atypical cells within the lung biopsy โ€”> slide sent for IHC
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ The suspected trouble maker
๐Ÿฅ‡ The final diagnosis
๐Ÿงญ Approach to rapidly progressive renal failure
๐Ÿฉธ Never forget the vascular cause of RPRF
๐Ÿšจ RPRF with normal renal biopsy
๐Ÿฉธ Causes and symptoms of RVT
๐Ÿ“Œ evaluation and treatment of Renal vein thrombosis
โš ๏ธ Do we neglect renal cysts ?
๐Ÿ“Œ The CT classification of cysts and the chances of them being problematic
