Many treatments are involved and they are even more aggressive when associated with a predisposing factor such as diabetes. We aimed to investigate clinical features of acute drug-induced kidney injury in diabetics in order to clarify renal prognosis. Methods: This was a descriptive and analytical retrospective study including diabetics who presented drug-induced acute kidney injury, conducted in our department during the period from 1986 to 2015. Acute kidney injury was classified according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria. We analyzed medical records of patients. Results: 31 patients were included with mean age of 65.41 years and gender ratio M/F at 0.93. Diabetes was type 2 in 97% of cases. Mean previous creatinine clearance was 39.33 ml/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup>. Drugs involved were blockers of renin-angiotensin system (35%), aminoglycosides (16%), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (16%), diuretics (13%), lipid-lowering agents (10%), rifampicin (6%) and ifosfamide (3%). Extracellular dehydration was present in nine cases (29%). Main drug combinations were with diuretics in 16 cases (52%) and with ACE inhibitor or ARB in eight cases (26%). Oligo anuria was observed in 5 cases (16%). Proteinuria with urine strips was objectified in 25 cases (81%). Acute kidney injury was grade 3 in 24 cases (77%), grade 2 in three cases (10%) and grade 1 in four cases (13%). Renal survival at 102 months was 57%. Identified renal prognosis factors were serum phosphorus >1.47 mmol/l (p = 0.01), proteinuria at urine strips (p = 0.042), dehydration (p = 0.013), oral antidiabetic treatment (p = 0.038), intravenous rehydration (p = 0.021) and insulin (p = 0.006). Conclusion: Drug-induced acute kidney injury is potentially serious in diabetics. Prevention is essential to improve the prognosis of this renal damage.展开更多

It is most of the time about a renal amyloidosis. Patients and methods: It is a descriptive retrospective study concerning the patients followed in our department for a Behcet’s disease having presented a renal amyloidosis. Results: It is about 4 men with average age of 38.25 years old. The renal involvement was revealed after an average delay of 5.7 years by a nephrotic syndrome in all cases. A renal insufficiency was noted in 3 cases with an average serum creatinine of 587 μmol/l (127 - 1490). The type of the amyloidosis was AA in 2 cases. The treatment contained colchicines in every case. The evolution was marked by the worsening of the renal function leading to end stage renal disease in 3 cases. Death occurred in 1 case and one patient lost to follow up. Discussion: Renal amyloidosis can complicate the evolution of a Behcet’s disease. It occurs generally 1 to 10 years after the beginning of the disease. Once installed, it evolves generally towards the chronic renal insufficiency and can condition the forecast of this affection. Conclusion: Amyloidosis is a rare complication of the Behcet’s disease. Its screening is so desirable to improve the renal prognosis of these patients.展开更多
