This was a prospective observational study conducted in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of a tertiary care hospital involving 170 children meeting the inclusion criteria. The RAI was assessed within 24 h of admission to the PICU. Positivity for renal angina was considered RAI ≥8.

The overall incidence of AKI was 18.2%. Out of 170 children, 31 (18.2%) were RAI-positive on day 0. A higher proportion of patients in the RAI-positive group developed AKI on day 3 compared with the RAI-negative group (83.9% vs. 3.6%, P <0.001).

HD patients have several features that put them at an increased risk of nonadherence to dietary restrictions, including prolonged, intensive treatment, and their medical regimens are easily determined with objective measures. This crosssectional study aimed to determine factors related to nonadherence to dietary restrictions among 361 HD patients randomly selected from HD centers in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

Female patients were more likely to be nonadherent to dietary restrictions. Adherence to dietary restrictions was relatively higher among non-Saudi patients, older people, those who are married, those with university qualifications, those who are employed, and those with higher monthly incomes; nevertheless, these differences were not statistically significant. Despite the relatively higher frequency of adherence to dietary restrictions among patients with a duration of dialysis of <60 months, hypertensive patients, patients with a previous kidney transplant, and those with a previous history of psychiatric illnesses, these differences were not statistically significant. Patients with factors associated with nonadherence to dietary restrictions deserve special attention and support to improve their adherence.","PeriodicalId":21356,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141591285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A kidney biopsy showed focal crescentic glomerulonephritis of the pauci-immune type. Initially, treatment with immunosuppressive medication was deferred because the biopsy findings suggested a poor renal outcome, as the cortical sample showed tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis of more than 50%. The patient was discharged but was later readmitted with worsening renal function, deep venous thrombosis in the lower extremities, and patchy lung consolidation suggesting possible pneumonia, which was ruled out. He required dialysis and brief empiric antibiotics for pneumonia, and anticoagulation for deep venous thrombosis, and was treated with intravenous (IV) pulsed steroids, followed by gradually tapering oral steroids and rituximab induction therapy. He continued dialysis three times a week. Three months after discharge, his renal function improved to near-baseline level, and he no longer required hemodialysis. He continues to be on maintenance IV rituximab therapy and low-dose oral steroids and is followed closely by a rheumatologist.
