Os testes de ANF (fator antinuclear), ANCA, anti- DNA, sorologia para vírus da hepatite B, C e HIV foram negativos. Foi internado com lesão renal aguda e realizou seis sessões de hemodiálise durante os primeiros 16 dias de internação, e depois foi transferido para um hospital terciário para investigação diagnóstica. Relatamos um caso de um homem de 38 anos, usuário crônico de cocaína, álcool e cigarros que apresentava urina vermelha, oligúria, pernas e pálpebras inchadas, além dos sintomas urêmicos, anorexia, êmese e confusão mental. A GNRP se manifesta clinicamente como uma síndrome nefrítica, com um declínio rápido e progressivo da função renal, e seu achado histopatológico é a presença de crescentes em mais de 50% dos glomérulos.

Nos últimos anos, o uso de cocaína adulterada com levamisol tem sido associado à vasculite por ANCA e GNRP pauci-imune. A maioria dos casos está relacionada à rabdomiólise, mas outros mecanismos são hipertensão maligna, isquemia renal e glomerulonefrite rapidamente progressiva (GNRP) associada à vasculite por ANCA. RESUMO Um amplo espectro de complicações renais pode ocorrer com o uso agudo e crônico de cocaína. Then he maintained daily prednisone and monthly intravenous cyclophosphamide and evolved with progressive improvement of renal function.

The patient underwent pulse therapy with methylprednisolone (for 3 days) and cyclophosphamide. A renal percutaneous biopsy revealed crescentic glomerulonephritis with mild tubular atrophy. Tests of ANF ( antinuclear factor), ANCA, anti- DNA, serology for hepatitis B, C, and HIV virus were negative. He was admitted with acute kidney injury and performed six hemodialysis sessions during the first 16 days of hospitalization and then was transferred to a tertiary hospital for diagnostic investigation. We report a case of a 38-year-old man chronic user of cocaine, alcohol, and cigarettes who had red urine, oliguria, swollen legs and eyelids, as well as the uremic symptoms anorexia, emesis, and mental confusion. RPGN is clinically manifested as a nephritic syndrome with a rapid and progressive decline in renal function, and its histopathological finding is the presence of crescents in more than 50% of the glomeruli. In recent years, the use of cocaine adulterated with levamisole has been associated with ANCA vasculitis and pauci-immune RPGN. Most cases are related to rhabdomyolysis, but other mechanisms are malignant hypertension, renal ischemia, and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) associated- ANCA vasculitis. Instead of complaining about having to sign my friends in and out of my building or not having enough seats for everyone in my dorm, I will laugh because soon enough I know I’ll be saying “remember when…” in reference to these things.ABSTRACT A wide spectrum of renal complications can occur with acute and chronic use of cocaine.

I’ll set up my picnic blanket on the grass, enjoy the view of Cathy and indulge in conversations with my friends. I will cherish all of the 70-degree days, where the sun is bright, that are few and far between. Soldiers & Sailors Lawn becomes a collective of picnic blankets and sunbathers, the backyards of South Oakland fill with dartiers and lines flood the food trucks. In unity, we all leave our dorms or apartments and gather in the streets. When the temperature rises above 60 degrees, the student body appears to double in size. So, rather than dwell on my to-do list and the ugly sky, I’ve decided I’m going to take advantage of the last bit of the semester.Īlthough the sunny days are limited, it makes each one more special. In six more weeks I’ll be moving out, saying a temporary goodbye to my new favorite people and leaving my first year behind. Six more weeks of lounging around my tiny Tower A dorm. Six more weeks of hanging out with my friends. I find it difficult to wrap my head around. That was until my friend informed me there are only seven more weeks left in the term.
