New Onset Nephrotic - Range Proteinuria in a Patient with Chronic Kidney Diseas...
Cardoso Fernandes, S; Góis, M; Viana, H; Ferreira, ACLight chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a rare condition that is characterized by the deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chains in glomerular and tubular basement membranes. We report the case of a 72-yearold male with long-standing and stable chronic kidney disease (CKD) presumably due to hypertension and lithiasis who presented with new-onset nephrotic range proteinuria, anemia and rapidly worseni...

Duarte, T; Caeiro, F; Góis, M; Matos, A; Viana, H; Vieira, C; Paulos, J; Paixão, P; Matos, B; Germano, N; Nolasco, FSARS-Cov2 infection is a highly transmissible disease associated with serious pulmonary disease. Renal involvement is frequent and associated with poor prognosis; however, mechanisms of kidney injury are not well established. We present a SARS-Cov2 patient with severe acute kidney injury. Kidney biopsy findings revealed a pattern of acute tubular necrosis with isometric vacuolization of the proximal tubule. The...

Nephrotic Syndrome in a Patient with Metastatic Melanoma: Beyond the Obvious
Messias, A; Calado, J; Viana, H; Nolasco, FNephrotic syndrome in a patient with metastatic melanoma can occur in the context of a paraneoplastic glomerulopathy or as a complica tion of treatment. New oncologic immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, have been frequently associated with interstitial nephritis and, in rare cases, with nephrotic syndrome. This article presents the case of a 52 -year -old man diagnosed with metastatic melan...
Morphological Indexes: Can They Predict Lupus Nephritis Outcomes? A Retrospecti...
Navarro, D; Ferreira, AC; Viana, H; Carvalho, F; Nolasco, FINTRODUCTION: Lupus nephritis is a serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus. Currently, therapy is guided by findings in the renal biopsy, following the International Society of Nephrology / Renal Pathology Society classification. Austin and Hill's histomorphological indexes are not routinely obtained. In this retrospective single-centre study, we aimed to analyze the importance and applicability of...

The lack of effective treatment remains a serious problem in transplantation. A retrospective and uni-center study was performed in 48 kidney allograft recipients with transplant glomerulopathy between January 2010 and December 2015. Median time for diagnosis was 7...
