a case of acute Kidney Cortex Necrosis caused by tranexamic acid
The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2012Co-Authors: Ji Yoon Sung, Eul Sik Jung, Shung Han Choi, Dongsu Shin, Hyun Hee Lee, Wookyung Chung, Jae Hyun ChangAbstract:Kidney Cortex Necrosis is a relatively rare cause of acute Kidney injury and is characterized by complete or partial destruction of the renal Cortex, but sparing of the medulla. Tranexamic acid has antifibrinolytic activity and is used to reduce bleeding. We report a rare case of Kidney Cortex Necrosis caused by tranexamic acid. A 49-year-old woman complained of coughing up blood-tinged sputum. She had a history of bronchiectasis and was treated with tranexamic acid for 3 days. Four days after admission, she developed anuria and azotemia. Computerized tomography showed enhancement of the renal medulla, but not the bilateral renal Cortex. The patient was treated with hemodialysis, and has since been maintained on hemodialysis for 6 months. Due to the development of Kidney Cortex Necrosis in patients treated with tranexamic acid, all its potential complications should be considered. (Korean J Med 2012;82:503-506)

acute Kidney failure due to Kidney Cortex Necrosis 2 clinical cases of surviving patients
Revista Medica De Chile, 1991Co-Authors: E FuenzalidaAbstract:A 22 year old female developed preeclampsia with fetal death in utero. After cesarean section she developed uterine inertia and acute hemorrhagic anemia complicated by sepsis, disseminated intravascular coagulation and total anuria for 4 weeks. She was treated with hemodialysis. The second patient, a 49 year old man developed sepsis and intravascular coagulation after a dog bite. Acute renal failure with a 3 week total anuria followed. He was initially treated with peritoneo dialysis. Renal biopsy showed evidence of renal cortical Necrosis in both patients.

Is Imaging Time Between two Tc 99m DMSA Scans Sufficient for Reporting as Renal Parenchymal Scarring? Healed Parenchymal Renal Defect After 6 Years
2016Co-Authors: Erdem Sürücü, Yusuf Demir, Meral Torun Bayram, Salih Kavukçu, Hatice Durak, Renal Parankimal, Skar Raporlamasında, İki Çekim, Arası Süre, Yeterli AltıAbstract:We aimed to report a healed renal parenchymal defect after 6 years in a 9-year-old girl who was being followed for recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI). The first UTI was at the age of two. She was being followed with ultrasonography, urine analysis and urine culture since the first UTI. Technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy was repeated four times up to the present day. She had a renal parenchymal defect reported as parenchymal scarring, which healed 6 years after the first DMSA scintigraphy. Key words: Kidney Cortex Necrosis, technetium Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid, urinary tract infections Case Report A 9-year-old girl was referred to our nuclear medicine department for the differential diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis (APN) and renal parenchymal scarring. Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) was diagnosed when she was a
