Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus
|January 22, 2015
Summary
This case study details recurrent ocular complications in a child with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). It highlights rare eye issues like retinal vein occlusions and ophthalmoplegia during HUS recovery.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Ophthalmology
- Hematology
Background:
- Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a thrombotic microangiopathy linked to complement dysregulation, often with a relapsing course and poor prognosis.
- While multiple organ systems can be affected, ocular involvement in pediatric atypical HUS is infrequently documented.

Acute Kidney Injury IV: Diagnostic Studies and Prevention
525
Accurate diagnosis and effective prevention are critical in managing Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), which is linked to high mortality rates ranging from 10% to 80%. Timely recognition of at-risk patients and careful monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of kidney damage.Diagnostic Assessments:The diagnostic process starts with a comprehensive medical history to identify prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal causes.Prerenal causes, such as dehydration, hypotension, or blood loss, should...

Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction
1.1K
Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder defined by clinical findings such as severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. These symptoms result from damage to the glomeruli, the kidney’s filtering units, increasing their permeability to proteins.Definition and Meaning:Proteinuria, defined as the loss of more than 3.5 grams of protein per day in adults, is a crucial feature of nephrotic syndrome. This condition is often accompanied by edema, the accumulation of...

Nephrotic Syndrome II : Assessment and Medical Management
378
IntroductionNephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder marked by excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to various systemic complications. This condition often results from damage to the glomeruli—the kidney's filtering units—causing proteinuria, low blood protein levels, and fluid retention. Understanding the assessment, diagnosis, and management of nephrotic syndrome is essential for effective treatment and prevention of further kidney damage.AssessmentPatient History: Document...
