Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

This study reports a rare case of renal parenchymal malakoplakia, a chronic inflammation. Successful treatment with oral levofloxacin led to lesion resolution and no recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Malacoplakia is a rare chronic granulomatous inflammation, typically affecting the genito-urinary system.
  • Renal parenchymal involvement in malakoplakia is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 69-year-old female presented with a left renal mass.
  • Abdominal enhanced CT scan identified a 50 x 45 mm heterogeneous mass in the left kidney.

Findings:

  • CT-guided percutaneous renal needle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of renal malakoplakia.
  • The patient was successfully treated with a 4-month course of oral levofloxacin.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the successful management of renal malakoplakia with antibiotics.
  • Complete resolution of the renal lesion and sustained remission were observed post-treatment.
