Can Renal Infarction Occur After Renal Cyst Aspiration? Case Report
(2011) Emre, H.; Soyoral, Y.U.; Tanik, S.; Gecit, I.; Begenik, H.; Pirincci, N.; Erkoc, R.
Renal infarction (RI) is a rarely seen disorder, and the diagnosis is often missed. The two major causes of RI are thromboemboli originhating from a thrombus in the heart or aorta, and in-situ thrombosis of a renal artery. We report a case of RI that developed due to renal artery and vein thrombosis, as confirmed by pathological evaluation of the nephrectomy material, three weeks after renal cyst aspiration.
Evaluation of Peritonitis Attacks in Patients Applying Peritoneal Dialysis
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2023) Baran, A.I.; Karahocagil, M.K.; Soyoral, Y.U.; Mülayim, G.
Peritoneal dialysis is one of the renal replacement therapies used to treat patients with end-stage renal disease. Peritonitis is a common complication of peritoneal dialysis. Although the incidence of peritonitis has decreased, it is still a problem and the most important determinant of hospitalization, mortality, and morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis patients, compare culture methods, and determine the causative microorganisms and antibiotic susceptibility. Patients who were on the peritoneal dialysis treatment program and developed peritonitis were included in the study. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of the cases were recorded. The growth rates of pathogens in the peritoneal fluid, causative microorganisms, and antibiotic susceptibility results were evaluated in the peritonitis cases. During the study, 47 episodes of peritonitis occurred in 28 patients. The mean incidence of peritonitis was 0.57 attacks/patient-year. Growth rates in the blood culture system and solid media were 51% and 46.1%, respectively, and there was no significant difference between them. According to the culture results, 75% were Gram-positive microorganism and the most common pathogens were coagulase-negative staphylococci. In our study, no significant difference was found between inoculation of peritoneal fluid into blood culture bottles and solid media. The most common pathogens were coagulase-negative staphylococci. As methicillin-resistant staphylococci are common, treatment with vancomycin seems appropriate. It was thought that ceftazidime, which is used for gram-negative bacteria, may not be sufficient due to resistance, and studies with more gram-negative cases are needed to evaluate this. © 2023, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.

A Patient With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Who Presented With Peritonitis While on Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis
(2012) Soyoral, Y.U.; Begenik, H.; Esen, R.; Dilek, I.; Dulger, A.C.; Demirtas, L.; Erkoc, R.
Peritonitis is a common complication in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. In some cases peritoneal fluid is unremarkable. In these instances, one must evaluate for other causes of gastrointestinal pathology or a myriad of other causes. We report an unusual case of acute myeloid leukemia who presented with peritonitis in a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patient.
Steroid Responsive Abdominal Cocoon Syndrome Secondary To Peritoneal Dialysis; a Rare Case Presentation
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2023) Erdem, M.; Soyoral, Y.U.; Duman, A.
Abdominal cocoon syndrome is a rare condition that defines the total or partial encapsulation of the small bowel loops by a fibcrocollagenous membrane, primarily or secondarily, with inflammatory infiltrate that leads to acute or chronic obstruction. While this condition may become manifest in an idiopathic-primary form, it can also occur secondary to interventions such as abdominal surgery, chronic peritoneal dialysis, liver transplantation, ventriculoperitoneal shunt or medications. We aimed to present a case diagnosed with abdominal cocoon syndrome induced by peritoneal dialysis, who showed a good clinical response to steroid treatment. © 2023, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.
