...Pramod K. Guru; Tarun D. Singh; Abbasali Akhoundi; Kianoush B. Kashani Background: Both acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring dialysis and thrombocytopenia are very common and have been independently associated with mortality and morbidity in critically ill patients. Thrombocytopenia...

... with HUS and only subsequent investigation to find the cause of HUS led to the diagnosis of HIV infection. HIV infection should be suspected in patients presenting with microangiopathic renal failure. Hemolytic uremic syndrome Human immunodeficiency virus Microangiopathy Thrombocytopenia Acute renal...

...John R. Mackey; Carl M. Kjellstrand We observed a patient who developed severe autoimmune neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with severe acute renal failure during the course of an apparent viral illness. Viral inclusion bodies were found on urinary...

... in the initial stage of BSA GN, thrombocytopenia was induced before BSA infusion. In 18 New Zealand white rabbits, BSA was intravenously injected twice after the presensitization. Eight of these BSA GN rabbits were injected daily with goat anti-rabbit platelet antiserum to induce thrombocytopenia, and platelet...

...B. Watschinger; B. Schwaighofer; F. Wrba; E. Pohanka; J. Kovarik The differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia and leukocytopenia in renal allograft recipient can be troublesome. We report on a patient in whom the rare case of portal hypertension with secondary hypersplenism due to Caroli syndrome...

...U. Gafter; H. Bessler; T. Malachi; D. Zevin; M. Djaldetti; J. Levi The frequency of thrombocytopenia in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) is controversial. This study was undertaken to investigate the platelet count in 55 patients with end-stage renal disease on maintenance hemodialysis...

..., and studies were directed at reproducing them in vitro and in vivo. Treatment of red cells with purified clostridial phospholipase C induced changes in red cells and platelets that were comparable to those encountered in HUS. Rats infused with phospholipase C developed hemolysis, thrombocytopenia...

...N.J. Dodd; M.B.T. Clarke; M. Bewick; M.J. Weston We have used homologous platelet labelling with 111 ln oxine in the diagnosis of thrombocytopenia occurring in a patient who had received two renal transplants. The technique enabled us to prove that platelet destruction was occurring in the right...

... and thrombocytopenia were corrected. Following renal transplantation azathioprine therapy was tolerated in the splenectomized group. One patient who refused splenectomy had persistent severe leukopenia. Spleens were normal to moderately increased in weight and contained an immunoreactive white pulp and a normal red...

... the complement system, could also be implicated in HD-related leukopenia and thrombocytopenia (especially when CU membrane is used), the circulating leukocyte and platelet counts as well as the C3a-desArg and SC5b-9 (soluble, nonlytic form of the terminal complement complex) levels were measured. Methods: Ten...
