Abstract
Pellagra usually results from niacin deficiency and presents with the classic triad of dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia. It is most commonly associated with malnutrition and poverty. We report a case of pellagra in a hemodialysis (HD) patient with breast neoplasia, aged 68-years, female, on HD unit for seven years. Her original nephropathy was indeterminate. The patient was followed up for homozygous beta-thalassemia and breast neoplasia with hepatic metastases on chemotherapy. The body mass index of the patient was 18.5 kg/m2. Physical examination showed a thickening of the epidermis with a scaly surface, pigmented, and atrophied areas. We noted neuropsychiatric signs (apathy, irritability, anorexia, and depression) and digestive symptomatology (diarrhea). The laboratory tests revealed hypoproteinemia at 55 g/L, hypoalbuminemia at 21 g/L, and hypocholesterolemia at 0.8 g/L. The diagnosis of pellagra disease was made. Vitamin and protein supplementation was initiated, but the patient committed suicide by puncture of her arteriovenous fistula, causing hemorrhagic shock. Pellagra is usually reported to be associated with malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, and some chemotherapeutic agents. In our patient, pellagra was caused by malnutrition and co-morbidities. Pellagra disease requires multidisciplinary care and can be frequently seen in HD patients due to the associated malnutrition.

Abstract
Epstein syndrome is characterized by sensorineural hearing impairment, macro- thrombocytopenia without neutrophil inclusion bodies, and hereditary nephritis which can progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in adolescence. The prognosis of Epstein's syndrome depends on the severity of the hematological disorders and renal involvement that can lead to ESRD at an early age. Thrombocytopenia in Epstein syndrome is not an absolute contraindication for major surgical procedures like arteriovenous fistula formation or kidney transplantation. There are no set guidelines for preoperative prophylaxis in a patient with this pathology.

Abstract
The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the vascular access of the first choice for hemodialysis (HD). Studies on patency of AVF and its affecting factors reveal a high risk for access failure. The aim of this study was to assess the primary and secondary AVF patency and their determinant factors. It was a retrospective, descriptive study conducted in the HD facility of the Nephrology Department in Rabta University Hospital. We included AVF created before December 2009 in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The end of the follow-up was fixed in December 2013. We included 126 AVFs created in 111 patients; 22.5% were aged >65 years, 39.6% were diabetic, 68.5% were hypertensive, and 26.1% had peripheral vascular disease. The primary patency rates were 78% at one year and 42% at five years. The secondary patency rates were 80% at one year and 69% at five years. Multivariate analysis revealed that the factors affecting the primary patency of AVF were: the use of jugular catheter for longer than three months (odds ratio (OR):1.91, P = 0.044) and a C-reactive protein >5 mg/L (OR: 1.7, P = 0.049). Aging (>65 years) (OR: 2.46, P = 0.042), referral time to a nephrologist <6 months before onset of ESRD (OR: 2.87, P = 0.015), absence of an antiplatelet therapy (OR: 4.47, P = 0.005), and serum phosphorus <45 mg/L (OR: 2.07, P = 0.045) were the significant impairing risk factors for secondary AVF patency. Our study suggests that early referral and creation of AVF and maturation before ESRD as well as its adequate monitoring are essential for maintaining patency.

Abstract
The incidence of tuberculosis (TB) is high in patients undergoing chronic dialysis than it is in the general population. The diagnosis of TB is often difficult and extrapulmonary involvement is predominant. This study investigates the spectrum of clinical presentations and outcome in dialysis patients during a nine-year period. TB was diagnosed in 41 patients. Anti-TB drugs, adverse effects of therapy, and outcome were noted. Thirty-eight patients (92.6%) were on hemodialysis and three were on peritoneal dialysis (7.3%). The mean age at diagnosis was 50.8 years and the male/female ratio was 1.16. Four patients had a history of pulmonary TB. Extrapulmonary involvement was observed in 32 (78 %) patients. The bacteriological confirmation was made in 41.46% and histological confirmation was made in 26.83%, and in the rest, the diagnosis was retained on the criterion presumption. Nineteen patients (46.34%) developed adverse effects of antitubercular drugs. Eight patients (19.51%) died during the study from TB or adverse effects of treatment. Low urea reduction ratio and female sex were associated with poor prognosis in our study. The clinical manifestations of TB in patients on dialysis are quite nonspecific, making timely diagnosis difficult, and delaying the initiation of curative treatment, which is a major determinant of the outcome.

Abstract
Obstetric cortical renal necrosis is a serious complication that can lead to chronic renal failure and the need for chronic dialysis. The aim of renal cortical necrosis therapy is to restore hemodynamic stability, institute early dialytic therapy, and treat the underlying cause of the disease. Most cases of renal cortical necrosis do not recover a normal renal function despite intensive care. We describe the course of a patient who was diagnosed with acute renal cortical necrosis in pregnancy treated with hemodialysis for three years but then she recovered her renal function.

Abstract
Although initially considered a rarity, primary aldosteronism now is one of the more common causes of secondary hypertension. Based on older data, it was originally estimated that primary aldosteronism accounted for less than 1% of all patients with hypertension. Subsequent data, however, indicated that it may actually occur in as many as 5-15% of patients with hypertension. Here we present a 66-year-old patient with a history of hypertension who was diagnosed with primary hyperaldosteronism at the time he had developed a severe renal failure secondary to a vascular nephropathy. This case report illustrates the difficulties in diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism, and highlights the effects of the delay of diagnosis on renal survival and on patient quality of life.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolones are usually well tolerated with a minimum of serious adverse effects; renal toxicity is uncommon. Apart from the renal side effects of ciprofloxacin, we aimed to highlight the renal impact of a ciprofloxacin overdose, and thus conducted a prospective study in the Department of Nephrology at La Rabta Hospital between 2010 and 2015. The cohort database was continually updated until the inclusion of five patients who were subjected to an overdose and who were initially admitted to the medical intensive care unit and then transferred to our department for acute renal failure (ARF) due to ciprofloxacin ingestion requiring urgent hemodialysis. All patients developed ARF after 12–36 h of ingestion. Renal ultrasound was normal in all cases. Twenty-four-hour proteinuria was present but not significant in one case, while microscopic hematuria was present in one case. Treatment consisted of supportive therapy and extrarenal purification by conventional intermittent hemodialysis. Four patients recovered normal renal function within 3 weeks and the remaining patient eventually had chronic kidney failure.

Abstract
Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal infection affects predominately the central nervous system in HIV patients and patients with other immunocompromised states. It has rarely been described in immunocompetent patients. It is a serious infection with a high of mortality rate. We describe a case of a 48-year-old patient diagnosed with lupus nephritis treated with corticosteroids and mycophenolate mofetil who developed central nervous cryptococcosis complicated by septicemia. She died despite the use of antifungals. Cryptococcal infection is an uncommon, but often a fatal complication of systemic lupus erythematosus. Timely diagnosis and effective antifungal therapy could improve its prognosis.

Abstract
Transurethral resection of the prostate is currently the gold standard for the surgical treatment of the benign prostatic hyperplasia. This surgery may lead transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome and in some cases, acute tubular necrosis can develop. We report a patient who developed hyponatremia, hemolysis and oliguric acute renal failure as a major complication following TURP using glycine as irrigating fluid.A 64-year-old man was admitted for a prostate resection procedure. Physical examination revealed a healthy elderly man. Preoperative laboratory data showed serum sodium 140 mEq/L, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) 0.6 g/L, creatinine 0.7 mg/dL and hemoglobin 12.9 g/dL. Few hours after, the patient becomes incoherent and developed oliguria, nausea and vomiting. The laboratory data revealed rapidly elevating BUN and creatinine levels (BUN 2.4 g/L; creatinine 6.1 mg/dL), the serum sodium concentration decreased by 14 meq/L. A decreased hemoglobin level (7.4 g/dL) with an elevated lactate dehydrogenase level (665 U/L) was observed. Renal ultrasonography was normal. The diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis complicating TURP syndrome was retained. The hyponatremia was slowly corrected to 132 mmol/L by diuresis and fluid restriction. The renal function recovered after four hemodialysis sessions. Using glycine as an irrigant for TURP may cause hyponatremia, hemolysis and also acute renal failure, especially in patients with longer resection time. It is necessary to carry out every effort to shorten resection time and avoid extravasation during surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular access is a basic and essential tool required for performing renal replacement therapy in end stage renal disease. AIM To study the indications of tunneled catheter (KTT) in hemodialysis (HD), identify complications related to the use of KTT and contributing factors, assess the survival and performance of the technique. INTRODUCTION The making of a vascular access is an angular piece for adequate HD and in good conditions. In this context the KTT may be an alternative. METHODS A retrospective study of 52 KTT placed in 49 patients collected in the department of Nephrology Dialysis and Renal Transplantation in RABTA Tunis between 2008 and 2011. RESULTS The average age of our patients was 55.58 years ± 13.5 years, their Sex ratio was 0.79. The Thirty of our patients were diabetic, 46.2% had hypertension and 21.2% had underlying cardiac disease. The mean duration of HD was 1111.35 days or 37 months. The most common indication of KTT was the absence of arteriovenous fistula in 65.4% of cases, other indications were: short survival (30.7%), the exhaustion of venous capital (34.6%), mediacalcosis (34.6%) and immunosuppression (36.5%). The right internal jugular vein was the choice of insertion site with 78.8%. The overall incidence of immediate complications was 19.2%. Among our patients, 31.4% had a dysfunction. The period of HD represent the risk factor for dysfunction KTT (p = 0.006).An infectious complication was observed in 29% of cases. The median time to onset of infection was 190.83 days. Staphylococcus was isolated in 40% of cases. The average duration of use of KTT was 238 days. The only single factor determining the survival of KTT was the number of KTT put in the same patient. CONCLUSION More than a quarter of the population are dialyzed through a catheter. Despite concerted efforts, much remains to be done for the confection at time of a permanent vascular access.
