REASON FOR CONSULT: Acute on chronic renal failure. Patient is an 87 year old Caucasian male who has a history of hypertension, severe peripheral vascular disease, chronic renal insufficiency, and atrial fibrillation. He was admitted yesterday for treatment of an infected toe. The plan was to obtain an angiogram to check patients’ blood flow; however he was discovered on admission labs to have acute on chronic renal failure, patient states he is unaware of kidney problems before. He states he is able to pass his urine without difficulty, no obstructive symptoms, no history of kidney stones, no urinary tract infections, no hematosis, no dysuria, and no diabetes mellitus. Patient states he has a history of hypertension, but it has been very mild. He has had trouble with vascular disease to both legs.…

The results of various studies have shown that a response dominated by the production of Th2 cytokines( IL-10 and IL-4) may play an important role in reducing the severity of disease and allowing survival. Role of IL-10 in this conditions is more important [20].…

“Common biochemical themes are important to understanding cell injury and cell death regardless of the injuring agent” (Heuther & McCance, 2012). Cellular injury arises when a cell is unable to sustain homeostasis. The injury can be reversed if the cell can recover from whatever damage was done but if it does not recover the cell will die. The three common forms of cell injury are hypoxic injury, free radicals and reactive oxygen species injury, and chemical injury.…
In 1956, Denham Harman articulated the free radical theory of aging which states that ‘oxygen free radicals that are formed endogenously in live cells result in a pattern of cumulative damage’(9). The theory is also implied that the target of those radicals in the cellular system is random. In live cells, DNA, protein and lipid are targets for the free radical’s invasion. Damaging any of those vital macromolecules in live cell affects the physiology of the cell and may lead to apoptosis and cell death. Cell injury caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), radicals such as hydroxyl radical (OH∙) and the nonradicals like hydrogen peroxide H2O2, appears to be a measure contributor for many aging diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular…
Bladder dysfunction might occur due to lesion block or delay the transmission of nerve signals to the central nervous system that control the bladder and urinary sphincters. This cause the patient to frequently urinate, incontinence and inability to empty the bladder completely.…

(A) Kinetics of C3 binding on red cells from a representative PNH patient during eculizumab treatment. Before treatment (0 wks) no red cell binds C3, whereas starting from 1 weeks of treatment three populations of red cells are displayed: one population of normal red cells (CD59+C3-) and two distinct populations of PNH (CD59-negative) red cells, one with (C3+) and one without (C3-) fragments bound on their surface.…
