Typically HSP is considered as self-limiting, benign condition, although renal involvement (HSP nephritis, HSN)is the principle cause of morbidity in this disease. Aim of the study: To evaluate renal involvement in patient with HSP and to identify factors that are predictive of nephritis based on demographic data, clinical characteristics, and treatment given to those patients and to determine the follow-up time needed for diagnosing HSN patients. Study design: retrospective descriptive analytic study. Patients and methods: medical files of 75 children who diagnosed as HSP from January 2005 to June 2017 and were followed up in rheumatology and nephrology clinics at Tripoli Children Hospital were reviewed. For all patients included in the study, we collect the following data: Age, gender, clinical examination at presentation, laboratory data including complete blood count, C reactive protein, ESR, and complete urinalysis at presentation, also we follow the results of urinalysis for up to one year after presentation. Results: A total of 75 patients with a HSP were enrolled in the study. Of these 40 were boys giving a male to female ratio of 1.14: 1.The mean age of onset was 6.5 ± 1.5 years (range of 2 -12 years), with most cases (93.4%) occurred in those aged less than 10 years old. HSN was the 3rd most common manifestations of HSP in our study preceded by rash in 100% of patients and gastrointestinal manifestations in 65%. HSN occurred in 3075 of cases (40%).The most common HSN manifestations was microscopic hematuria and proteinuria in 10.7% of patients followed by microscopic hematuria in 8% of patients, isolated hypertension in 5.3% of patients. In other 5.3% of patients hypertension was associated with gross hematuria, table2. We evaluated the relationship between HSN and various factors using a univariate analysis as shown in table3, we noticed that there was no significant statistical difference between patients with and without HSN in terms of sex, gender, presence of severe abdominal pain and arthritis. 93.3% of patients with HSNmanifest within 6 weeks of disease onset and only 2 patients developed their renal involvement months later. Figure3. Conclusion: HSN occurred in 40% of patients with HSP with 28 out of 30 who developed HSN(93.3%) developing within the initial 6 weeks of the disease. None of the studied factors were associated with higher risk of HSN by univariate statistical analysis.","PeriodicalId":93165,"journal":{"name":"Archives of orthopedics and rheumatology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68288177","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}

Its etiologies are by far dominated by giant cell arteritis and cancers. Other exceptional etiologies can be seen, and present a real diagnostic challenge for clinicians. We report an unusual case of PMR caused by primary hypothyroidism. Case Report: A 68-year-old patient, with no notable pathological history, was hospitalized for exploration of a PMR non-responding to corticosteroids prescribed by the family doctor. The somatic examination was without abnormalities. Extensive investigations have eliminated possible associated giant cell arteritis, connective tissue diseases, necrotizing vasculitis, infections, osteomalacia, cancer, andhaematological malignancies. Thyroid assessment revealed primary hypothyroidism with fT4 at 4.24 Pmol/l and TSH at 54.16 μmol/ml. Under thyroxine, the evolution was favorable with disappearance of any rhizomelic symptomatology. Conclusion: This observation reports an exceptional and often overlooked etiology of PMR, which is easy to find and treat. Its knowledge by clinicians makes it possible, in certain cases, to avoid several invasive explorations as well as an unjustified corticosteroid treatment that is not devoid of side effects, sometimes severe in frail elderly subjects.","PeriodicalId":93165,"journal":{"name":"Archives of orthopedics and rheumatology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68287782","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}

Besides, HV surgery is a frequent surgical procedure that impose significant surgical and medical costs including implants, hospital expenses, used drugs and period of sick leave, in addition to the increased overall costs that could involve its poor management. The management of this pathology is barely unified in the current literature whilst there are many and varied surgical techniques (more than 100 described), the indications of which overlaps in many cases, leaving unclear as to what is the best approach to the treatment of this problem globally. In addition, there is no level 1 evidence available to prove which is the best option for each particular patient. It is therefore necessary to create standard format to be adopted in each clinical scenario and set out the standards to guide that process. This article aims to propose a clinical practice guideline that covers all types of HV in the population as a whole and that can be used systematically in each case. A flow chart is detailed with the preference of the surgical technique on a case-by-case basis and a clinical pathway is drawn on the management of this condition including all professionals involved from the first assessment to the final discharge.","PeriodicalId":93165,"journal":{"name":"Archives of orthopedics and rheumatology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68287774","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}
