WCN25-851 A RARE CASE OF OXALATE NEPHROPATHY ASSOCIATED WITH CARCINOID SYNDROME
majority of the patients were sensitive to both ampicillin and fluroquinolones.In present study Norfloxacin, Amikacin, Cefotaxime, Piperacillintazobactam and Ampicillin were found as efficient antimicrobials.This was in contrast to study done by Adalet Altunsoy et al where E.coli was shown to have resistance to fluroquinolones.Where as other studies by Bonadio M et al, Shah B. V et al did presented similar results as found in present study.Risk factor associated with urosepsis In our study, Obstructive Uropathy was the most common (28%) factor observed followed by Diabetes mellitus(25%).In obstructive Uropathy, Renal stone (24%) was most commonly associated with urosepsis.Ultrasonographic finding in urosepsis In our study all patient underwent ultrasonography imaging which resulted that 24% patients were having renal stone followed by 21% patients found to had cystitis .14%patient had chronic kidney disease while 13% patients were diagnosed as pyelonephritis.In other significant findings, 7% patients had obstructive uropathy due to malignancy, 4% patients had prostatomegaly.13% patients were having normal ultrasonography among 100 patients Conclusions: Summarizing the topic ,Urosepsis is a life threatening organ dysfunction commonly seen in old male patients, with increased incidence in diabetics and most common risk factor being obstructive uropathy.On examination, fever,lower urinary tract symptoms ,tachycardia,hypotension with deranged renal function, leukocytosis, anemia should be taken seriously to prevent poor prognosis.To conclude,the best sepsis is undoubtedly the sepsis that can be prevented both from the perspective of patients and doctors.So,looking upon the study, symptoms and signs should not be neglected, public awareness and regular medical check ups with necessary treatments should be encouraged, to prevent future fatal outcomes.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
