Pages: 
114–6
Synopsis: 
We report on a rare case of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-negative pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN) probably due to mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL). Chemotherapy may improve the outcome. The pathophysiologic relationship between ANCA-negative pauci-immune crescentic GN and MCL should be investigated further.

Primary Renal Lymphoma: A Case Report and Literature Review

Issue: 
DOI: 
10.7727/wimjopen.2013.324
Pages: 
6–8

ABSTRACT

Primary renal lymphoma is very rare. The prognosis is usually poor with median survival less than a year. We report a case in a 55-year old man with a mass in the left kidney detected by ultrasonography and computed tomography. Radical nephrectomy was performed under a preliminary diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma. After the surgery, four courses of chemotherapy were performed. Prognosis may have improved since those reports in the earlier medical literature.

INTRODUCTION

According to the  World Health Organization, coronary heart disease kills more people each year in high, middle and low income countries alike than any other disease. The 2012 Pan American report for Trinidad and Tobago showed a 51% raised risk for non-communicable lifestyle disease and the concomitant risk of cardiac disease in the 25–64-year age group with a reported increased rate of obesity, hypertension and diabetes (1).

INTRODUCTION

Jehovah's Witnesses are considered unusual patients because of their refusal to receive blood transfusions. Some practitioners do not consider the increased risk of death associated with refusal of blood transfusions as a sufficient deterrent. This religious conviction raises problems in the field of ethics and legal and medical management of patients for major surgical procedures in which the use of blood transfusions is an important element.
