A phase I trial of Roussel-Uclaf recombinant human interleukin 2 (IL 2) was performed on 31 cancer bearing patients of the Institut Gustave-Roussy, Villejuif, and the Institut Curie, Paris. This study allowed to define a schedule for administration of IL 2 in continuous infusion over 5 day cycles. This schedule is manageable in patients without major visceral failure. It is reproducibly feasible in conventional medical oncology units, without specialized intensive care facilities. Toxicities, although numerous, are acceptable for IL 2 doses below 24,000,000 IU/m2/day. There is a close relationship between secondary effect severity and IL 2 doses received. Main toxicities were: fever with chills, fatigue and general discomfort in 23 patients, nauseas and vomiting in 12, diarrhea in 10 and cutaneous rashes with erythema and dermal vascularitis in 13. One peculiar feature of this study was the minimal occurrence of manifestation related to leaky capillary syndrome prominant in other studies. Oliguria, functional renal failure and edema were observed in only 4 patients with functionally unique kidney. Five patients had severe anemia, 2 grade III thrombocytopenia, 1 grade IV hepatic cytolysis, 4 severe confusion episodes and 2 hypothyroidism with anti-thyroid microsome auto-antibodies. All these toxicities were reversible after withdrawal of IL 2 treatment. During this phase I trial, 3 therapeutic objective responses were observed, all 3 occurring in patients with metastatic melanoma treated with IL 2 doses equal to, or above 16,000,00 IU/m2/d. Recombinant IL 2 Roussel-Uclaf thus can be administered through a simple, manageable and efficient regimen.

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHS) is the most serious complication of ovulation induction, particularly in in vitro fertilization. It is a potentially life-threatening situation. Its pathophysiology is poorly understood. This syndrome is explained by a sudden increase in capillary permeability which results in a rapid fluid shift from the intravascular space into a third space leading to haemodynamic changes. In its most severe forms. OHS is characterized by multicystic ovarian enlargement, hemoconcentration, hypovolemia, oliguria, third space accumulation of fluid in the form of ascites and pleural effusion, renal failure, thrombotic disorders. Mild and the most of moderate forms of OHS usually do not require any active form of therapy. Severe OHS requires hospitalization, correction of fluid and electrolyte imbalance, prevention of thromboembolism, aspiration of the ascites and pleural effusion causing respiratory discomfort and dyspnea. Surgical interventions are exceptionally indicated and reserved for ovarian or rupture of ovarian cyst. Although severe OHS may not be completely avoided, early recognition of high-risk factors, judicious monitoring of ovulation induction (plasma estradiol levels and ultrasonography), and, perhaps in future, substitution of hCG for triggering ovulation should reduce the incidence of this iatrogenic syndrome.

Urological complications constitute significant problem following renal transplantation. Incidence ranges from 4 to 14% in graft recipients. The most important aspects concerning these complications are early diagnosis and prompt treatment, any delay in diagnosis and management may lead to deterioration of renal graft function or graft loss. The following case report discusses management of hydronephrosis in renal graft caused by ureter stenosis due to scarring and fibrosis of its distal end after remote kidney transplantation. The patient was a 33-year-old woman with previous history of end stage renal failure in the course of chronic glomerulonephritis. A triple drug immunosuppressive regimen consisting of Azathioprine (AZT), Cyclosporine A and Encorton (AZT + CsA + Encorton) was administered during a period of three years after kidney transplantation. At this time AZT administration was discontinued due to chronic viral hepatitis type B. Episodes of expansion sensation (discomfort) and graft pain were reported by the patient which after 3 days were followed by a period of oliguria and then anuria. The patient was admitted to the Department of Nephrology CMUJ, where ultrasound imaging revealed graft hydronephrosis. In the presence of such clinical and biochemical indications due to acute graft failure, one hemodialysis session, was performed. The patient was transferred to the Urological Department CMUJ where ureter exploration was attempted, but was unsuccessful. Subsequently percutaneous nephrostomy was performed which lead to immediate diuresis. Next, distal ureter stenosis (located by the urinary bladder) was surgically removed and reimplantation of the ureter was carried out. Due to early diagnosis and surgical reconstruction of the transplanted ureter, renal graft function returned to normal requiring only one hemo-dialysis session.

Since it has been recognized as a separate disease during the Korean war, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) has often been discovered among the members of different armies in various countries, military personnel being the highest risk group for the disease. In the period from March to May 1999 we treated 6 soldiers coming from the military formation stationed at Kosovo and Metohia. The reaction of indirect hemagglutination test proved the presence of antibodies against Hantavira in each of them. They were infected during the stay in a dugout in the area with great population of field rodents. Only one patient was slightly ill, on the admission to the hospital. The others had severe clinical and laboratory findings: several days lasting fever, strong abdominal pain, as well as the pain in the loins, dyspeptical discomfort, manifold increased blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine values, thrombocytopenia, etc. Oliguria occurred in 4 patients. Hemorrhagic manifestations were slight (epistaxis, petechial rash, conjunctival injection), or absent. Because of the aggravation of the acute renal failure, hemodialysis was performed in 3 patients, while other 3 underwent conservative treatment. Two of the patients had severe anemia because of which transfusions of erythrocytes and plasma were performed. Complications occurred in 2 patients (convulsive crises and lung infections). All patients recovered completely.

We present a case of a thirty-eight-year-old man who had exercise-induced acute renal failure (exercise-induced ARF). He experienced oliguria, general fatigue, and vague discomfort in the lower abdomen after he exercised. As he had suffered from hypouricemia before, he was diagnosed as having exercise-induced ARF associated with hypouricemia. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) images showed patchy wedge-shaped contrast enhancement on his bilateral kidneys, consistent with characteristic observations for exercise-induced ARF. Tc-99m diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DPTA) renography revealed decreases in both the renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and revealed parenchymal dysfunction of the bilateral kidneys. Renogram revealed a hypofunctional pattern on the bilateral kidneys. CT images and Tc-99m DTPA renography also had improved when the symptoms of exercised-induced ARF indicated improvement. It has been hypothesized that one cause of exercise-induced ARF may be renal vasocontraction. Although CT images are useful in evaluating exercise-induced ARF, Tc-99m DTPA renography can more easily and safely evaluate renal function. We also show that Tc-99m DTPA renography is useful in precisely evaluating the degree of improvement of exercise-induced ARF.

A 50-year-old woman came to the emergency department because of chest discomfort and dyspnea. She was found to have hypotension, oliguria, and pulmonary edema, i.e., full-blown cardiogenic shock, an irregular rhythm, and no cardiac murmur. The electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded one lead at a time, and a lead II rhythm strip was mounted above the standard 12 leads (Figure 1).

A 61-year-old female patient was admitted to hospital following development of a whole-body rash for 10 days, diarrhea for 7 days, and unconsciousness and oliguria for 1 day. The patient had developed stomach discomfort following the oral administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the exact nature of which was unknown, for the treatment of arthritic pain for >1 month. The patient was then prescribed omeprazole enteric-coated tablets (20 mg twice daily) for treatment of this symptom. However, the patient developed a whole-body rash 7 days after administering omeprazole, 10 days prior to admission. This symptom was followed by severe diarrhea with nausea and vomiting after 10 days, then shock. The shock occurred after administering omeprazole for 16 days. The patient developed a whole body rash 7 days after administering omeprazole, then 3 days later (after administering omeprazole for 10 days) severe diarrhea with nausea and vomiting occurred. The shock remained until administering omeprazole on the 16th day, with severe diarrhea with nausea and vomiting occurring 6 days later. The patient's condition did not improve following treatment for allergies, low blood pressure and oliguria in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) department at Suzhou Municipal Hospital. For further diagnosis and treatment, the patient was admitted to the ICU department of The First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College and was given a fluid infusion, antibiotics and phlegm-reducing treatment, a plasma infusion, blood filtration, and anti-diarrheal and anti-allergy treatment. The patient's vital signs were stable, with a normal temperature and hemogram results, and improved kidney function and deflorescence. Genetic screening revealed that the patient poorly metabolized omeprazole. Therefore, severe adverse reactions (allergic shock, rash and diarrhea) experienced by the patient were caused by the accumulation of omeprazole metabolites resulting from its slow metabolism in vivo.
