    Mitochondrial dysfunction in inherited renal disease and acute kidney injury

    No full text
    Mitochondria are increasingly recognized as key players in genetic and acquired renal diseases. Most mitochondrial cytopathies that cause renal symptoms are characterized by tubular defects, but glomerular, tubulointerstitial and cystic diseases have also been described. For example, defects in coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) biosynthesis and the mitochondrial DNA 3243 A>G mutation are important causes of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in children and in adults, respectively. Although they sometimes present with isolated renal findings, mitochondrial diseases are frequently associated with symptoms related to central nervous system and neuromuscular involvement. They can result from mutations in nuclear genes that are inherited according to classic Mendelian rules or from mutations in mitochondrial DNA, which are transmitted according to more complex rules of mitochondrial genetics. Diagnosis of mitochondrial disorders involves clinical characterization of patients in combination with biochemical and genetic analyses. In particular, prompt diagnosis of CoQ10 biosynthesis defects is imperative because of their potentially reversible nature. In acute kidney injury (AKI), mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the physiopathology of tissue injury, whereas mitochondrial biogenesis has an important role in the recovery of renal function. Potential therapies that target mitochondrial dysfunction or promote mitochondrial regeneration are being developed to limit renal damage during AKI and promote repair of injured tissue

    Ovarian steroid cell tumor in pregnancy-a rare occurrence: Report of a case and review of the literature

    No full text
    Background: Steroid-cell tumors of the ovary are very rare, especially during pregnancy, and they must be distinguished from luteoma of pregnancy. Case: An 18-year-old female, gravida 3, para 1-0-1-1, at 38 weeks' of gestation, had an adnexal mass that was discovered incidentally during a Caesarean section. The tumor was excised and her male infant was normal. Results: Histologic workup revealed the tumor to be a steroid-cell tumor, which is exceedingly rare in pregnancy. Conclusions: Ovarian steroid-cell tumors, which are malignant one-third of the time, are difficult to distinguish from luteoma of pregnancy.Peer reviewe
