Sodium Nitroprusside Treatment for Control of Decompensated Heart Failure

Hypertensive crisis is thought to be initiated by an abrupt increase in systemic vascular resistance, likely related to humoral vasoconstrictors. Left ventricular dilatation and failure may develop as a result of increased afterload due to hypertension. Left heart failure may result in secondary pulmonary hypertension by increasing pulmonary venous pressure. Here, we report the effects of sodium nitroprusside for treatment of hypertensive crisis complicated with acute left ventricular dilatation, heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension in a 10-year-old female patient. This article presents a complex clinical case treated by simple medication. [Med-Science 2014; 3(2.000): 1269-76

Cytomegalovirus infection and haemophagocytosis in a patient with congenital nephrotic syndrome

Congenital nephrotic syndrome is a rare clinical entity defined as massive proteinuria leading to symptoms within the infant's first 3 months of life. Although the association between congenital nephrotic syndrome and cytomegalovirus infection has been identified, association with haemophagocytosis has not been reported in the literature.

Lupus Nephritis in a Child with Type I Diabetes Mellitus

Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at increased risk for developing other autoimmune diseases, most commonly autoimmune thyroiditis and celiac disease. Few reports have described the association of systemic lupus erythematosus and T1D in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of lupus nephritis in a child with T1D

Amyloidosis in a Child With Hyperimmunoglobulinemia D Syndrome

Hereditary periodic fever syndromes are a group of genetic diseases clinically characterized by recurrent febrile attacks. Patients are at variable risks for the development of systemic reactive (AA) amyloidosis, leading to the nephrotic syndrome and kidney failure. We present the first report of the occurrence of renal AA amyloidosis causing severe nephrotic syndrome in a Turkish child affected with hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome
