BACKGROUND: Goodpasture syndrome was originally described as an association of alveolar haemorrhage and glomerulonephritis. It occurs when the immune system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. AIM: We are presenting a patient with a clinical picture of pulmonary haemorrhage and glomerulonephritis, which is diagnosed by renal biopsy. CASE PRESENTATION: His illness began a year and a half before being diagnosed. In that period he had occasional exacerbations. He was received at our Clinic in extremely serious condition, and after stabilisation of his medical condition, there was made a biopsy of the kidney. The p-ANCA was 8.93 U/ml (neg < 3, poz > 5 U/ml). Histopathological diagnosis of biopsy of the kidney was: Glomerulonephritis extra capillaries focalis, segmentalis et globalis. Based on this he was diagnosed with Goodpasture syndrome. He received corticosteroid therapy and cyclophosphamide, with good response to treatment, and he is currently in a stable condition, receiving only corticosteroid therapy. CONCLUSION: Goodpasture syndrome is a severe illness caused by the formation of antibodies to the glomerular basement membrane and alveolus with consequential damage to renal and pulmonary function. With current therapy, long-term survival is more than 50%

Pheochromocytoma and Neurofibromatosis Type 1 in a Patient with Hypertension

<jats:p>BACKGROUND: Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant condition that has a variety of clinical manifestations. Essential or secondary hypertension may be associated with neurofibromatosis. A rare finding is hypertension due to pheochromocytoma in patient with neurofibromatosis type 1.CASE REPORT: We present a case with a 7-year medical history of hypertension which was poorly controlled and with wide variations of blood pressure before the examination. Investigations did not reveal a secondary cause of hypertension. After the physical examination and establishing the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis, as well as the history of symptomes suggestive of catecholamine discharge, diagnostic procedures for pheochromocytoma were undertaken. Abdominal CT and MRI have proven the presence of a right adrenal tumor mass which was suspected to be a pheochromocytoma. Patient was preoperatively treated for two weeks with alpha and beta blokers and right adrenalectomy was performed. Perioperatively and on a longer term, blood pressure remained well controlled with less antihypertensive therapy. Diagnosis and management of pheochromocytoma in neurofibromatosis involves a dermatologist, endocrinologist, nephrologist and an urologist and requires a well-coordinated multidisciplinary approach.CONCLUSIONS: Pheochromocytoma, although a rare condition in patients with neurofibromatosis, may be a cause for uncontrolled hypertension, as well as other cardiovascular complications and the clinician should do all available clinical investigations to confirm it or exclude it on time.</jats:p>

A number of laboratory tests are available for evaluation of hypertension in pregnancy. These tests can be used to either predict and/or prognosticate preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate alterations in fibronectin homeostasis in normotensive pregnancy and in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy subclassified into chronic hypertension, preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension, and pregnancy induced hypertension. A prospective, longitudinal study was conducted in 115 pregnant women aged 20-39 years, divided into four groups: normotensive (n = 40), chronic hypertension (n = 18), preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension (n = 20), and pregnancy induced hypertension (n = 37). Plasma concentrations of fibronectin were measured by using single radial immunodiffusion assay (RIA) in the 8th, 18th, 23rd, 28th, 32nd and 36th week of gestation. Plasma fibronectin concentration showed no significant changes in normotensive pregnancy, but was significantly elevated in the third trimester in women destined to become preeclamptic or with preeclampsia in whom it reached a mean (+/- SD) of 0.40 +/- 0.09 g/L in the 36th week of gestation. In the groups with preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension and with pregnancy induced hypertension, there was a significant difference between plasma fibronectin concentrations in 32nd (p < 0.01) and 36th (p < 0.001) week of gestation compared with either other levels in the respective group (in the 8th, 18th, 23rd and 28th week of gestation) or those recorded in other groups in the same period of pregnancy. These results suggested that the measurement of plasma fibronectin might be of diagnostic value in preeclampsia but could not be considered a useful predictor for preeclampsia.

Statins are widely used to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD). With advancing age, the risks of statins might outweigh the potential benefits. It is unclear which factors influence general practitioners' (GPs) advice to stop statins in oldest-old patients.

Hypercalcemia and Renal Affection: An Unusual Initial Presentation of Sarcoidosis
(Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts/Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2025-03-01)
;
;
;
;
Sarcoidosis is a chronic, multisystem, inflammatory granulomatous disease that affects multiple organs in the body, but mostly the lungs and the lymph glands. Hypercalcemia and renal affection are rarely initial presenting features, and in the absence of pulmonary symptoms, the diagnosis of sarcoidosis in those patients could be a diagnostic challenge. A case-patient with sarcoidosis presented with elevated serum calcium and creatinine levels. Renal biopsy showed nephrocalcinosis with chronic fibrosing interstitial nephritis. The extensive mediastinal, abdominal, axillar, and neck lymphadenopathy was presented on the computer tomography scan of the patient's chest and abdomen. The neck lymph node surgical biopsy showed confluent, non-caseating, epithelioid granulomas consistent with sarcoidosis. The serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level was elevated. Treatment with oral prednisolone was started, and improvement of renal function and normalization of serum calcium was noted. Sarcoidosis should be considered in the differential diagnoses in patients with renal impairment and non-parathyroid hormone (non-PTH) dependent hypercalcemia.
