ABSTRACT
Pregnancy is identified as one of the risk factors for increased severity of illness in severe acute respiratory syndrome novel coronavirus 2019 infection. The severity of illness may range from mild infection to severe multi-organ failure. Acute kidney injury (AKI) may occur in pregnant patients with coronavirus disease (COVID) either due to obstetric cause or due to severe COVID illness. We report six cases of COVID-pregnancy with AKI and their outcomes.

Venous thrombosis is one of the major complications associated with nephrotic syndrome. Among the primary glomerular diseases, membranous nephropathy is associated with a high incidence of thrombotic events. Although this is well described in adults, there is paucity of the literature regarding venous thrombosis in children. Herein, we report such a thrombotic event involving both the lower limb veins and the inferior vena cava in a child with membranous nephropathy.

Upper limb gangrene is uncommon compared to lower limb gangrene. But digital gangrene is seen occasionally in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. Of the various causes described, atherosclerosis, diabetic vascular disease, following AV fistula surgery were few of the causes. Herein, we report a case of development of early digital gangrene following AV fistula in a patient on maintenance hemodialysis.
