신생아 일과성 고암모니아혈증은 고암모니아혈증을 특징으로 하며 대부분 호흡곤란 치료를 받는 미숙아에서 발생한다. 발생원인은 정확히 알려져 있지 않으나 생후 2-3일에 호흡 곤란, 기면, 경련, 혼수 등의 임상 증상을 보이고, 생화학적 검사 상 혈중암모니아 농도가 현저히 증가하며 요소회로 효소 치는 정상을 보인다. 치료가 늦으면 사망에 이르는 응급을 요하는 질환이나 즉각적이고 적절한 치료 시 신경학적 손상을 남기지 않고 호전 가능하다. 저자들은 호흡곤란을 보여 호흡기 치료를 받던 35주 미숙아에서 48시간 내에 경련과 함께 혼수상태에 빠지고 검사상 고암모니아혈증을 보여 신투석 등의 치료 후 회복되었으며 2년 추적관찰에서 정상을 보인 환아를 보고하는 바이다.

Hookworm infections as well as other intestinal nematodiases are endemic in China. In this case, a 70-year-old male showed symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, and both lower extremities edema. The diagnostic result was chronic renal insufficiency, chronic kidney disease (5th stage), and renal anemia at first. Then, he received treatment with traditional drugs. However, this treatment did not help to alleviate the symptoms of the patient significantly. The results of gastroendoscopy showed hookworms in the duodenum, also confirmed by pathology examination. Anemia was markedly ameliorated after eliminating the parasites. The results mentioned above suggested that ancylostomiasis was the leading causes of anemia in this patient, and the etiology of anemia in uremic patients should be systematically considered. Especially when anemia could not be cured by regular treatments, rare diseases should be investigated.

Minimal change nephrotic syndrome is characterized by proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. Children with onset of nephrotic syndrome between the age of 1 and 8 year are likely to have steroid response to minimal chage disease, but we experienced one case of minimal change disease which failed to respond to steroid therapy at beginning and subsequently developed acute renal failure. It was seen in a 5 year-old male child that presented with edema and gross hematuria. Peritoneal dialysis was performed for acute renal failure for 11 days. Patient was completely recorvered from acute renal failure and renal biopsy was done at 27th day after onset of disease which revealed typical picture of minimal change disease complicated by acute tubular necrosis. We beleive this case is very unusual and it may be the first case in the literature in terms of pediatric cases.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a home care nursing network system for operating home care effectively and efficiently by utilizing a wire-wireless network and mobile computing in order to record and send patients' data in real time, and by combining the headquarter office and the local offices with home care nurses over the Internet. It complements the preceding research from 1999 by adding home care nursing standard guidelines and upgrading the PDA program. Method: Method/l and Prototyping were adopted to develop the main network system. Result: The detailed research process is as follows: 1 )home care nursing standard guidelines for Diabetes, cancer and peritoneal-dialysis were added in 12 domains of nursing problem fields with nursing assessment/intervention algorithms. 2) complementing the PDA program was done by omitting and integrating the home care nursing algorhythm path which is unnecessary and duplicated. Also, upgrading the PDA system was done by utilizing the machinery and tools where the PDA and the data transmission modem are integrated, CDMX-1X base construction, in order to reduce a transmission error or transmission failure.

7년생 중성화하지 않은 수컷 포메라니언(체중 2.2 kg)이 지속적인 식욕부진과 다음/다뇨, 심한 질소혈증 및 심잡음을 주증으로 내원하였다. 진단적 검사 결과 중증의 고혈압과 비대성 심근증을 동반한 만성 신장 질환이 확인 되었다. 2일 동안 복막투석과 수혈, 그리고 amlodipine을 이용한 항고혈압 치료를 실시하였고 동시에 만성신부전에 대한 보존 치료요법을 적용하였다. 본 증례는 만성 신장질환이 있는 개에서 병발한 고혈압성 심근증인 희귀 증례이다.

복막염은 지속성 외래 복막투석 환자에게 있어 중요한 합병증 중 하나이다. 이러한 복막염은 잦은 재발과 최근 내성균의 출현으로 치료에 어려움을 겪고 있다. vancomycin 내성 장구균(VRE, Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus)에 의한 복막염은 1999년에 국내에서 처음 보고된 이래로 계속 증가하고 있으나 아직까지 치료에 대해 명확한 기준이 없는 실정이다. 저자들은 복막투석 소아에서 리네졸리드(linezolid)로 VRE에 의한 복막염을 성공적으로 치료한 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

The leading cause of death in patients with chronic renal failure is cardiovascular diseases. The problems relevant to cardiac surgery in these patients are occurring more frequently with a growing number of patients at risk. Among these, important risk factors related to uremic patients undergone open heart surgery are fluid and electrolytes imbalance, coagulopathy, increased susceptibility to infection. Since 1968 when Lansing and colleagues reported the first successful aortic valve replacement in patients with chronic renal failure and infective endocarditis, there have been increasing reports of the cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in chronic renal failure patients with acceptable perioperative morbidity and mortality From Jan. 1988 to Nov. 1989 we have experienced four uremic patients necessitating open heart surgery ; one needing a coronary artery bypass graft and the other 3 needed cardiac valve replacement. Based on our observations we would like to suggest followings 1]Intraoperative ultrahemofiltration during C-P bypass thought to be an excellent means for the control of hyperkalemia and fluid balance. 2] The immediate postoperative application of peritoneal dialysis instead of hemodialysis is beneficial in controlling fluid and electrolyte imbalance. 3]The cause of one early postoperative death was not associated to renal failure, rather it was the result of an accidental rupture in the right ventricular wall.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that affects multiple organs. More than half of the patients with SLE have kidney involvement, and up to 10% of patients with lupus nephritis develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in SLE occurs in 21% to 95% of patients. Severe neurological manifestations such as seizures, cerebrovascular disease, meningitis, and cerebrovascular accidents can develop in childhood-onset SLE, but cerebral infections, such as brain abscess and hemorrhage, are seldom reported in lupus nephritis, even in adults. Here, we report a rare case of childhood-onset SLE with ESRD, cerebral abscess, and hemorrhage. A 9-year-old girl diagnosed with lupus nephritis was administered high-dose steroids and immunosuppressant therapy to treat acute kidney injury (AKI) and massive proteinuria. The AKI deteriorated, and after 3 months, she developed ESRD. She received hemodialysis three times a week along with daily peritoneal dialysis to control edema. She developed seizures, and imaging showed a brain abscess. This was complicated by spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage, and she became unstable. She died shortly after the hemorrhage was discovered. In conclusion, CNS complications should always be considered in clinical practice because they increase mortality, especially in those with risk factors for infection.
