Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare multi-system vasculitis. Patients with CSS are at greater risk of venous thromboembolic events. However, venous thrombosis is rarely reported in patients with CSS in Korea. We report 1 patient with CSS who experienced deep vein thrombosis. A 27- year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to fever, cough, skin rash on both lower extremities, and right leg edema. He was diagnosed with CSS based on a history of asthma, peripheral eosinophilia, transient pul

AIM: Stress hyperglycemia, occurring during stressful conditions in patients without preexisting diabetes, is associated with poor outcomes in critically ill patients. We investigated its impact on long-term outcomes in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 11,013 adult patients without preexisting diabetes who received CRRT for ≥3 days between 2010 and 2019 and were discharge

Introduction: H1 antihistamines are frequently used to treat pruritus in patients on dialysis, but their safety remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of H1 antihistamine use on outcomes in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD). Methods: This retrospective cohort study included adult patients undergoing HD identified through national HD quality assessment programs. Patients were grouped by H1 antihistamine use over 6 months: no prescription, short (<60 days), and l

The Korean Society of Critical Care Nephrology, in collaboration with the Korean Society of Nephrology, has published a clinical practice guideline for continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT). This guideline was developed with the goal of improving patient outcomes and reducing complications, based on the latest research related to the application and prescription of CKRT. The development of this guideline involved multidisciplinary participation from leading experts in nephrology and criti

The Korean Society of Critical Care Nephrology, in collaboration with the Korean Society of Nephrology, has published a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for Continuous Kidney Replacement Therapy (CKRT). This guideline was developed with the goal of improving patient outcomes and reducing complications, based on the latest research related to the application and prescription of CKRT. The development of this guideline involved multidisciplinary participation from leading experts in nephrology and

ABSTRACT Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury and incident chronic kidney disease. Potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) have emerged as potent alternatives to PPIs, but their renal impact remains unclear. Methods This study compared renal outcomes between P-CAB and PPI in patients receiving either PPIs or P-CABs at a tertiary referral hospital in Korea between 2019 and 2023. Renal outcomes were defined as creatinine doublin

폐동맥 가성동맥류는 패혈성 폐렴의 드문 합병증으로 발생할 수 있으며 대량객혈로 이어질 위험성이 높아 치명적일 수 있다. 대량객혈을 동반한 폐동맥 가성동맥류의 치료는 색전술 또는 수술이지만, 색전술 시행 후 폐동맥 가성동맥류의 경과는 보고된 적이 없었다. 저자는 59세 남자가 패혈성 폐렴에서 회복 중 대량객혈을 하여 흉부 전산화단층촬영을 시행하였고, 폐동맥 가성동맥류를 발견하여 폐동맥 색전술로 치료하였다. 이후 외래 추적도중 시행한 단순흉부촬영상에서 색전물질에 의한 방사선 비투과성 병변은 수개월에 걸쳐 서서히 작아졌다. 결국, 색전술 후 14개월째 시행한 흉부 전산화단층촬영에서 폐동맥 가성동맥류와 색전물질이 완전히 사라졌음을 관찰하였다.

저자들은 반복적인 다량의 혈변을 주소로 내원한 29세 여자 환자에서 출혈의 원인이 되었던 멕켈 게실 내 이소성 췌장을 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

저자들은 다른 기저 질환이 없는 환자에서 발생한 기침과 동반한 방실전도차단과 관련된 기침 유발성 실신을 영구형 심박동기 삽입술로 치료하였던 예를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
