まとめ
急性A型肝炎ウイルス感染はIgA腎症を引き起こす可能性があります。HEV患者におけるこの腎疾患の早期認識と治療は、転帰と腎機能を著しく改善します。
科学分野:
- 腎臓病学、感染症学、肝臓病学
背景:
- IgA腎症(IgAN)は通常特発性であるが、感染後に起こることがある。IgANとA型肝炎ウイルス(HEV)感染との関連はほとんど理解されていない。B型肝炎およびC型肝炎とIgANとの関連は知られているが、HEVとの関連はまれにしか記載されていない。
研究 の 目的:
- 急性A型肝炎ウイルス感染後のIgA腎症の症例を記述すること。HEVが感染後IgANのトリガーとなる可能性のある役割を強調すること。腎機能障害のあるHEV患者におけるIgANを考慮することの重要性を強調すること。
主な方法:
- 37歳男性が急性肝炎と尿の色が濃い症状で来院した。検査の結果、肝酵素の上昇、高ビリルビン血症、およびA型肝炎IgM陽性の急性腎障害が明らかになった。腎生検により、メサンギウム細胞増殖と急性尿細管損傷を伴う感染後IgA腎症が確認された。
主要な成果:
- 患者は支持療法を受け、血液透析やステロイド治療が含まれた。血清クレアチニン値は703 µmol/Lから135 µmol/Lに減少し、3か月以内に腎機能は著しく改善した。症状は解消し、血尿や腎機能低下の再発はなかった。
結論:
- 急性HEV感染は、感染後IgA腎症を引き起こす可能性がある。臨床医は、腎機能障害を呈するHEV患者においてIgANを疑うべきである。HEV関連IgANの適時診断と管理は、腎機能の著しい回復につながる可能性がある。

Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction
457
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...

Acute Kidney Injury III: Clinical Manifestations
754
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) progresses through distinct clinical phases: the oliguric, diuretic, and recovery phases, each marked by unique manifestations and challenges.Oliguric Phase:The oliguric phase is the initial stage of AKI, typically lasting 10 to 14 days. This phase is marked by a significant reduction in urine output, usually less than 400 mL per day, indicating decreased kidney function. Fluid retention is a prominent feature, leading to symptoms such as edema, hypertension, and...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
1.1K
Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Acute Kidney Injury II: Pathophysiology
834
Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes are categorized into three primary categories based on the location of the injury: prerenal, intrarenal (or intrinsic), and postrenal causes. This classification guides clinical management and illustrates how different pathways can impair kidney function.Etiology and Pathophysiology of Acute Kidney Injury1. Prerenal causesEtiology: Prerenal Acute Kidney Injury, the most common type, occurs when reduced blood flow to the kidneys decreases filtration capacity...

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
1.1K
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It can be either acute or chronic.
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:

Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types
2.0K
Gastritis, defined by the inflammation or irritation of the stomach lining or gastric mucosa, manifests in several distinct forms: acute, chronic, reactive, and a specific subtype known as autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis.
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...
