Multimodality Imaging Findings of a Renal Aspergilloma

Background: Renal aspergillosis is a rare infection that usually occurs in persons with a predisposition for this condition. Its differential diagnosis includes primary and metastatic renal malignancies, pyelonephritis and secondary abscess formation, granulomatous disorders, and renal infarction. We aim to stress the role of multimodality imaging and percutaneous biopsy in the diagnosis of this condition. Case Report: We present diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) findings in addition to conventional imaging modalities in a 55-year-old man with secondary renal aspergilloma. Conclusion: Radiological imaging methods are an integral part of diagnostic workup for renal aspergillosis. A definitive diagnosis is made by histopathological and/or microbiological examination of the material obtained via percutaneous biopsy under guidance of imaging method

Böbrek nakilli hastada atriyal fibrilasyona bağlı akut renal infarkt: Olgu sunumu

Acute renal artery thromboembolism is a critical problem requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment. Most reports of renal infarction due to emboli are in patients with atrial fibrillation. Early diagnosis of renal artery thromboembolism is difficult. Patients with acute renal infarction typically complain of flank pain or generalized abdominal pain. Elevated peripheral white blood cell count, serum creatinine concentration and markedly elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase can be seen during renal infarction. In this case report, we describe a renal transplant recipient patient who developed an acute renal infarction due to atrial fibrillation.Akut renal arter tromboembolizmi hızlı tanı ve tedavi gerektiren kritik bir problemdir. Emboliye bağlı renal infarkt olgularının çoğunluğu atriyal fibrilasyonlu hastalarda görülmektedir. Renal arter tromboembolizminin erken tanısı zordur. Akut renal infarktlı hastaların tipik yakınmaları yan ağrısı ve yaygın karın ağrısıdır. Renal infarkt sırasında beyaz küre, serum kreatinin artışı ve belirgin yüksek laktat dehidrogenaz düzeyleri gözlenmektedir. Bu makalede biz, atriyal fibrilasyonlu bir böbrek nakilli hastada gelişen akut renal infarkt olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık
