Kidney transplantation in primary oxalosis.

A 33 year old patient with primary oxalosis was submitted to cadaver kidney transplantation after 15 months treatment by hemodialysis. During the dialysis period, he developed complete heart block which immediately followed bilateral nephrectomy. The transplant functioned correctly and was found to excrete large amounts of oxalate. Death, which supervened 7 months after transplantation, was due to miliary tuberculosis. The patient's own kidneys and various organs examined post mortem showed extensive oxalate deposits, which were mainly observed in the graft, conducting system of the heart, ocular structures, spleen and pancreas. The problems of managing terminal uremia secondary to primary oxalosis are discussed.

Necropsy study on glomerulonephritis in the elderly.

The necropsy reports and clinical observations of 44 cases of glomerulonephritis occurring in patients over 55 years old were reviewed. Two-thirds of the patients died from a rapidly progressive renal disease with focal necrotizing and fibrosing glomerular lesions; half of these exhibited a granulomatous splenic trabeculitis; an associated vasculitis was found in only a minority of these cases. Another important group consisted of cases of acute diffuse glomerulonephritis which, as a rule, occurred in association with a major infection. There were only four cases of chronic sclerosing glomerulonephritis.

Effects of large doses of furosemide in end-stage chronic renal failure.

Administered orally at 500 mg/day to patients in end-stage chronic renal failure treated by hemodialysis, furosemide significantly decreases the weight gain between dialyses and increases sodium excretion rate. This therapy remains without effect on blood pressure, creatinine clearance and urinary excretion of potassium and nitrogen. Devoid of any side-effects, at least during short periods, the treatment may contribute to achieve better control of sodium and water balance.
