Abstract Background: In December 2019, an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) occurred in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. We surveyed 91 patients who were diagnosis as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Xiangyang, Hubei province. And we found the incident of acute kidney injury (AKI) was 3.29% (3/91), which was higher than in the whole country but similar in Hubei province.Case presentation: We describe a case of 58-year-old man who was diagnosis as AKI stage 3 and non-oliguria AKI in the SARS-CoV-2 infection. After antiviral and other supporting treatment, his kidney function improved and he was transferred to normal ward.Conclusions: This case illustrated that careful management and strict monitoring of kidney function should be employed in COVID-19 patients especially in high incidence area of COVID-19.

Fecal impaction is a known complication of chronic constipation and is particularly bothersome in the elderly population. Common complications of fecal impaction include hemorrhoids, megacolon, overflow diarrhea, and obstructive uropathy among others. Many case reports have been reported with fecal impaction and obstructive uropathy though none have reported overflow diarrhea as a presentation. In this case report, we present an elderly male who came in with overflow diarrhea and acute kidney injury that resulted from fecal impaction that caused obstructive uropathy. He was managed with catharsis and early recognition of the condition led to a good outcome. Recognition and management of fecal impaction can be challenging especially in patients who present with diarrhea. We, therefore, outline and discuss the importance of recognition of overflow diarrhea as a complication of fecal impaction and the management of such patients.

Objective: Goodpasture's syndrome (GPS) is the association of pulmonary haemorrhage with acute kidney injury (AKI) resulting from injury by auto-antibodies. Its de novo occurrence in pregnancy is extremely rare with only few cases reported. High risk of mortality and lack of consensus in treatment warrants its reporting. Case report: A 24 year old primigravida, with no history suggestive of renal disease, presented to us in her third trimester with anuria. She was initially managed as sepsis or preeclampsia related AKI. However, even after delivery there was no improvement in kidney function with hemodialysis and she developed hemoptysis. Renal biopsy made a diagnosis of Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane disease. With careful multi-disciplinary treatment, she delivered a live born baby and was discharged under stable condition on hemodialysis, currently awaiting a kidney transplant. Conclusion: This case highlights that the current management for GPS should be revised to improve the outcome of AKI. Also, it determines how important it is for obstetricians to consider whether a pregnancy should be terminated to improve the outcome of AKI in pregnant patients with GPS
