Effectiveness of Factor XIII Infusion in Treatment of Refractory Ureteral Leakage after Kidney Transplantation

Despite the evolution of transplantation techniques, urological complications are common and result in loss of graft. We report the case of a 57-year-old man who developed continuous urine leakage despite pyeloureteral neoanastomosis and stenting after kidney transplantation from his dizygotic twin. Suspecting ureteral leakage, we performed pyeloureteral neoanastomosis using his native right ureter and a ureteral stent 5 days after the kidney transplant. However, urine leakage continued for several days. Because the plasma factor XIII level decreased to 48%, we administered factor XIII products (Fibrogammin P; CSL Behring, King of Prussia, PA) after the surgery. Although its utility and safety in patients with renal failure and/or transplantation are unclear, urine leakage stopped after the infusion of fibrogammin without any side effects. This is the first case report of the use of factor XIII for refractory urine leakage after kidney transplantation. Although further studies are needed, administration of factor XIII products could be one option for refractory urine leakage after transplantation.

Profuse Hemorrhage

The term dystocia refers to an abnormal birth and the most common cause is an abnormal alignment of the head or forelimbs in the birth canal. Usually in adult horses, acute renal failure occurs as a complication of another disease process that causes hypovolemia . Diarrhea and severe laminitis may develop in more serious cases. The aim of this case report was to present a cesarean section in the mare that evolved with renal failure and subsequent with laminitis. A nine year old Friesian mare was referred to the Veterinary teaching hospital FMV Cluj-Napoca, after a dystocia that could not be resolved conservatively.During surgery, profuse hemorrhage was noticed during the incision and suture of the uterine wall. Hypovolemia was corrected and recovery was uneventful. Two days after surgery, the mare developed acute hyposthenuric renal failure. After 3 days of intensive therapy, kidney function started to improve but the mare developed laminitis. The mare improved over a few weeks and was discharged after orthopedic shoeing. According to the author’s knowledge, this is the first case report of a cesarean section in the mare that evolved into this cascade of sequelae.

Cadaveric Kidney Transplantation

Purpose of the study: Reducing the risk of early postoperative complications associated with the disorder of the blood supply to the donor’s ureter while carrying out the transplantation of a cadaveric kidney. Material and methods: The analysis of a complicated course of the postoperative period, associated with the peculiarities of the blood supply to the donor’s ureter, was carried out for 20 out of 410 (4.9%) patients with chronic renal failure, who had the cadaveric kidney transplanted in Brest regional clinical hospital from 2011 to 2020. Results: A technique of determining the anatomical benchmarks indicating the location of the vessels that feed the donor’s ureter has been developed. Mastering specific technical methods used during the preparation of the renal allograph and its implantation, made it possible to reduce the number of urological complications after kidney transplantation by more than 2 times, and the number of cases of postoperative necrosis of the ureter by 4 times. Conclusions: The proposed surgical techniques make it possible to reduce the risk of postoperative complications associated with the violation of the blood supply of the donor’s ureter while transplanting the cadaveric kidney.

Nonalcoholic Beverages

Energy drinks are nonalcoholic beverages that are widely consumed in the general population, and worldwide usage is increasing. The main stimulant component of energy drinks is typically caffeine. Few case reports exist that link energy drink consumption to psychosis, and similarly few reports exist that associate energy drink consumption with acute renal failure. We present a patient who simultaneously developed psychosis and acute renal failure associated with excessive energy drink consumption. The patient required haemodialysis, and his psychosis resolved on cessation of energy drinks and a brief course of antipsychotic medication. We perform a review of similar cases where excessive caffeinated energy drink consumption has been linked to psychosis or acute renal failure. To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing both renal failure and psychosis occurring simultaneously in a patient. Recognising the spectrum of disorders associated with excessive energy drink consumption is vital for both physicians and psychiatrists, as this has important implications for both prognosis and treatment.
