Global conversational clinical decision support:

Kausik Khan (UK) it sounds like a bit longer story of 15 days of renal problem. When was the abortion happened? if that is the only significant history then should think about post infectious glomerulonephritis or possibly toxin induced |( not sure what was the method ...See More
Rakesh Biswas Thanks Kausik, It appears that she took 4 pills to induce an abortion a month back (right Prakhar?) and was kidnapped 3 months back. She too the pills almost a month after the exposure. Her TLC is remarkably normal to think of a septic abortion (in retrospect)? Still not able to join the dots between this history of abortion, acute renal failure needing dialysis and the ovarian mass with collection. (Sujoy?)
Kausik Khan Could PID a possibility? Clinical presentation sounds like pid with lower abdo pain but not acutely unwell with abscess or florid sepsis

Sujoy Dasgupta ( India) Pregnancy related 2 possibilities are there- 1) Spectic abortion, as suspected- there might be some instrumentation of the uterus (probably done by unauthorized persons) leading to infections (and thus PID/ Tuboovarian mass/ abscess) and also renal failure as a sequale of sepsis. 2) Relatively unlikely pathology- Chronic ectopic pregncncy- mimicking ovarian mass, that probably underwent infective changes due to some infection (whatever be the source (may be sexually transmitted) or coexistent PID (in chronic ectopic, urine beta hCG may be negative).... But in that case, renal cast is somehow uncommon and probably there may be coexisting renal pathology also.... Now, she needs stabilization from medical point of view- especially controlling hypertension, anaemia and renal parameters. Then definite therapy should be planned. Renal-friendly antibiotics should be started immediately (hope she is receiving those).... Then preferably diagnostic laparoscopy (if fit for GA from anaesthetic point of view) and then proceed accordingly (with counseling that she may need ovarian ''abscess drainage, salpingo-oophorectomy, even hysterectomy consent should be taken). Usually drainage of infective focus leads to dramatic improvement of renal parameters
Rakesh Biswas Thanks Sujoy, She doesn't have much parameters to suggest sepsis though.
Prakhar Gupta (Resident in charge, India) the patient is denying any effort to abort the possible pregnancy. All she did was that she took 4 pills (not sure if they were OC pills or iPills) after about a month of intercourse when she suspected pregnancy (probably on missing periods). Her cycle...See More
Prakhar Gupta USG says distorted renal architecture and little reduction in size bilaterally. Adding to it the anemia, we can think of some chronic renal condition which got precipitated by her prolonged NSAID usage for headache and dysmenorrhea.
Kausik Khan Hi Prakhar, loss of corticomedullary differentiation is suggestive of renal oedema secondary to hit noyhing more to be honest
Prakhar Gupta but considering reduction in size and anemia of that grade (6.6 g%) suggests something chronic.

Michele Meltzer (US)This is a very unfortunate case. Does she have an active sediment in the urine to suggest post infectious GN?? I also agree that toxin induced renal damage should be considered. My expertise is not in this area, however.
Kausik Khan Rakesh, what was her inflammatory markers such as CRP? Was it done before? Don't think I have seen it in the results. Common thing happens commonly. So what was the crp? Her initial counts were high (nearly 11 thousands). TO mass,
Kausik Khan Needs to looked at closely. It doesn't sounds like sepsis induced rather post infectious. Sepsis induced isolated organ damage is unlikely it should be multiorgan failure. How abnormal the counts are in post strep glom nephritis? They are normal. I suspect c3-4 crp should be dine.

NSAIDs induced analgesic nephropathy is a rather remote possibility but yes very interesting case. I am learning

Rakesh Biswas Kausik would be good to have more inputs on how we may link up the Ovarian mass with her ARF/CRF.
Kausik Khan Rakesh, I think we need some more work up. First Complements, and ANA dsDNA etc. Is this t-o mass a granuloma? We need to think infection(granulomatous), auto immune condition if this not related to obs and gynae. So first thing is to ask obg to rule out that it is not related to abortion pid tumour etc.

Prakhar Gupta update: her renal failure seems to be worsening. Urine protein creat ratio has increased from 0.4 (09/02/16) to 2.6 (15/02/16) . Her BP is now persistent at 170/100 mmHg despite medication. WBC counts have increased from 7000 (4 days ago) to 10800 (today). urine RM report says ++++ albuminuria,
5-6 pus cells, 5-6 RBCs and few casts.

Sujoy Dasgupta Ovarian mass can only lead to renal failure (usually ARF) either by causing severe ascites and thus hypoproteinaemia (which is not there) or ureteric obstruction (but that must be bilateral and should be identified by USG)
Rakesh Biswas Bhavik consider this case. Contact Dr JyotiPrakhar,Deepika for further details
Bhavik Shah (Gujrat, India) Yes, this is interesting.
But rather than writing this one, I'm more amused with this clinical dilemma. I think we just need answers to these questions:
1) Are these three conditions interrelated and consequential: taking pills, tubo-ovarian mass and renal failure?
2) If not, what's causing them individually!

Ashwani K Gupta (US) What kind of casts are in the urine. Do we have serologies like Ana and complement levels. Why not do a kidney biopsy
Deepika Agrawal Urine shows granular cast. renal biopsy is on plan but first we wanted to get clear with this ovarian mass(may be the reason of her ARF),planning for laproscopy .
Ashwani K Gupta Stick a needle in the kidney while you are in there. Most likely this is atn that will recover.

Local conversational clinical decision support: 



Rakesh Biswas She has features in her urine RM suggesting acute glomerulonephritis. Can anyone suggest possible etiologies for this?
Arun Chaudhary Okkkk sir ...I will update here
Rakesh Biswas Her hypernatremia could be due to post-acute renal failure diuresis in the face of inability to maximally concentrate the urine because of renal failure. The diuresis may cause a disproportionate loss of water in excess of that of sodium in the absence of replenishment of the water loss.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21947735 So Dr Arun and Dr Prakhar it would be important to know her urine output.
Rakesh Biswas Dr PrakharDeepika plan her renal biopsy with Dr Agamya for day after tomorrow. Get PT-INR, CBC and viral markers prior to biopsy. Also get urine for protein creatinine ratio.
Prakhar Gupta all done today sir. Reports will be available by tomorrow. And tomorrow we'll talk to dialysis ppl as well as Dr. Agamya sir. We need to act fast on this girl before she deteriorates sir.
Rakesh Biswas Let us hope she doesn't have to go for dialysis. Do you spot any indicators currently for dialysis in this patient?http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3387587/
Prakhar Gupta Arun, it will be great if you can look at her file and tell us her recent Haemoglobin and other blood counts.
Rakesh Biswas Dr Arun her reports here?
Arun Chaudhary Sir ..I will give you in few Mins ..I will investigate
Prakhar Gupta printed reports will not be there. Hand written reports are there on her file
Prakhar Gupta ask nurse about her today's reports. Her haemoglobin and other blood counts. Not the printed ones. And plz check if that girl is awake and her general condition.
Arun Chaudhary Yes ...sir ..okkk

Rakesh Biswas Prakhar has her urine output come down!! Dr Arun please let us know what was her total urine output yesterday.
Arun Chaudhary Okkkk sir ...I will her all output n input
Rakesh Biswas Dr Arun waiting for that
Rakesh Biswas Her MRI is fixed with Dr Aastha for tomorrow. Dr Jyoti please follow up. Did we meet the dialysis team today?
Arun Chaudhary Okkkk sir ...I will give soon
Prakhar Gupta yes sir, i talked to dialysis people. They said they can do dialysis at night but first we need to have her canula in place which can be done by Dr. Upadhyay sir. And canula can be fitted if thrs actually need of dialysis. So we need to weigh risks n benefits for her in this respect.
Prakhar Gupta astha mam did USG again but she didn't (or couldn't?) obtain consent for TVS.. And she said MRI will tell her condition btr..
Rakesh Biswas Lets ensure that her MRI is done tomorrow.
Prakhar Gupta sir i think her MRI got done today only.
Arun Chaudhary Morning to evening intake of fluid -
500 ml water ...+ 50 ml tea + 150 ml milk .. = 700ml...See More

Rakesh Biswas What about yesterdays total output?
Rakesh Biswas PrakharDeepika we just reviewed her MRI and the images are striking. Please discuss with Aastha, Agamaya asap.
Rakesh Biswas She may require an intervention
Rakesh Biswas She has a large ovarian mass on the right along with ascites (? hemorrhagic). Please take her down for a USG guided tap with Dr Astha or Dr Agamya. Or just ask them to do an ultrasound and point you to where you can put the needle. Also inform Dr Sirvastava
Jyoti Tripathi Sir 2bar vomiting huyi....abhi
Prakhar Gupta update: dialysis done this evening.. (phew!) she is stable and asking for food now. BP was 170/100 mm Hg at 8.30 pm and she was then given amlodipine.
Prakhar Gupta one incidental finding while inserting femoral catheter was palpable inguinal lymph nodes.. We might need to further confirm about ovarian mass as positive lymph nodes can suggest a malignant tumour which has spread and causing renal failure..
Rakesh Biswas Lets get an FNAC from the inguinal lymph nodes if you think they are sized significantly
Prakhar Gupta can't be called 'significant' but its palpable sir.
Rakesh Biswas That could be normal?

Rakesh Biswas Dr Jyoti can you copy paste this patient's history in this comment thread here (in English or/and HIndi) so that we can add it to the patient's blog here:http://globaludhc07.blogspot.in/.../a-18-years-old-girl...and then share it in tabula-rasa?
Rakesh Biswas Dr Jyoti unke USG guided fluid aspiration karna tha kya hua?
Prakhar Gupta update: her renal failure seems to be worsening. Urine protein creat ratio has increased from 0.4 (09/02/16) to 2.6 (15/02/16) . Her BP is now persistent at 170/100 mmHg despite medication. WBC counts have increased from 7000 (4 days ago) to 10800 (today)
Prakhar Gupta have increased amlodipine to 5 mg in the morning and 10mg at night. Lasix total 60mg in divided doses.
Rakesh Biswas This is not very alarming but we need to look at her urinary sediment and get another urine RM positively tomorrow.
Rakesh Biswas Let us know what is her average BP trend. One value doesn't mean much
Rakesh Biswas What other antihypertensives is she on?
Prakhar Gupta urine RM report says ++++ albuminuria, 5-6 pus cells, 5-6 RBCs and few casts.
Prakhar Gupta sir her BP is at that value since morning.
Rakesh Biswas Is the above urine RM today's?
Prakhar Gupta yes sir. Today's. Hb is 7.6, TLC is 10800, platelets still over 2 lacs.
Rakesh Biswas We needed to have aspirated her collection today. What did the sonologist say Dr Jyoti?
