Abstract: Bilateral nephrectomy is a rarely used approach to control refractory hypertension in patients with anuric end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who already require dialysis. This procedure results in complete dependence on hemo- or peritoneal dialysis to maintain metabolic homeostasis and has fallen out of favor given advancements in anti-hypertensive pharmacotherapy.

Abstract: Immunoglobulin (Ig)A nephropathy is the commonest type of primary glomerulonephritis (GN) in the world, with an estimated incidence of 2.5/100000 adults/year. It can co-exist with systemic conditions and is a common cause of crescentic GN. Antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis can present as necrotizing, crescentic GN with pauci immune features on immunofluorescence on renal biopsy.
Retrospective Study Pages 60-70
Abstract: To our knowledge, few studies in France have so far investigated the difference in patient characteristics and outcome between patients switching from hemodialysis (HD) to peritoneal dialysis (PD) and from DP to HD during treatment period. Therefore, the aim of the present retrospective study was to analyze main characteristics and outcome of switching patients and to identify risk factors that influence the outcome of switching patients.

Abstract: The aging male population suffers from late onset hypogonadism (LOH) with its characteristics including diminished virility, increased fatigue, muscle wasting and decreased bone mass. Fatigue, muscle wasting, and diminished libido are also common in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), with and without low testosterone. Testosterone deficiency is a common feature of failing kidneys and testosterone production is suppressed by multiple causes linked to loss of kidney function. Hypogonadism is the most common gonadal alteration in men
Clinical Presentation Pages 47-50
Abstract: A 65-year-old male was referred for nephrology consult for increasing creatinine from 1.7 mg/dl to 4.4 mg/dl over a period of 4 months. The patient was not diabetic but had a history of hypertension and dyslipidemia for which he was treated with amlodipine and atorvastatin respectively. He had noted increasing body malaise, weight loss, poor appetite and bipedal edema. He also noted frothy urine. On physical examination his blood pressure was 140/90 mmHg. He had pale palpebral conjunctivae and bipedal edema. The rest of the physical exam was unremarkable. Laboratory examinations were done at the time of consultation.
