Thalassemia is a hematological disorder caused by a gene mutation that leads to defective synthesis of hemoglobin complex. One of the complications of thalassemia is hypocalcemia which is presented with paresthesia, muscle spasm, low-serum calcium, and intracranial calcification. Hypocalcemia can affect thalassemic patients via various mechanisms. Blood transfusion-related and transfusion-independent iron overload, drug side effects, vitamin D3 deficiency, and genetic disorders and polymorphisms are among the etiologies of hypocalcemia in major thalassemia. A careful approach to the differential etiology of this phenomenon is crucial for a resultful treatment.

Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) have a higher risk of developing malignancies compared to the general population, due to the immunosuppressive regimens which can promote the oncogenesis process. The incidence of de novo non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in KTR is greater than in the general population. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) represents one of the most frequent malignancies in KTR. Sonidegib is a Hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitor approved for the treatment of locally advanced basal-cell carcinoma (LABCC) that following surgery or radiation therapy, or is given to those candidates who are not eligible to surgery or radiation therapy. This paper reports the case of a kidney transplant patient, who developed severe acute kidney injury (AKI) due to rhabdomyolysis (RML) induced by sonidegib therapy which required renal replacement therapy (RRT).

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the most common diseases and is the main cause of disability and mortality worldwide. Hyperuricemia has been recognized as one of the main causes of hypertension; however, few studies have been conducted to determine the correlation between serum uric acid reduction and blood pressure changes. Objective: This study aimed to assess the correlation between serum uric acid-reduction and blood pressure changes in a group of hemodialysis patients. Patients and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 21 hemodialysis patients taking allopurinol for the first time. Serum uric acid, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure were measured before taking allopurinol, then patients were followed for two months, and these parameters were remeasured. Data were collected and the correlation between serum uric acid-reduction and blood pressure changes was evaluated. Results: Most patients were female, with a mean age of 56.81 ± 15.59 years. Results showed that the correlation between serum uric acid reduction and blood pressure changes was statistically significant with a ratio of 3.6 reduction for systolic blood pressure and 2.17 for diastolic blood pressure per one unit of uric acid reduction (P<0.05). Conclusion: Uric acid reduction is correlated with blood pressure reduction with both systolic and diastolic blood pressures.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an endocrine disorder characterized by elevated or inappropriately parathormone levels. The most common cause of PHPT is solitary parathyroid adenoma (80-85%). Parathyroid surgery generally encompasses symptomatic PHPT and asymptomatic patients who meet the surgical guideline criteria. If surgery is contraindicated, several non-surgical ablative techniques can be conducted to eliminate the pathological parathyroid tissue, which causes tissue necrosis in the affected gland. This review aims to look into the most recent studies on the efficacy of percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT), laser ablation (LA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in treatment of PHPT and analyze their application prospects. PEIT is a classic method that is less commonly used nowadays. The analysis of thermal ablation methods revealed that LA is inefficient and requires considerable repetition. Meanwhile, the MWA and RFA have a cure rate of over 85% and fewer complications; it seems that they have the potential to replace surgical methods in the future.

In this photo-clinic, we present a 36-year-old man on chronic hemodialysis presented with a jaw mass. Radiography of the mandible showed a soft tissue mass lesion. Neck computed tomography showed a lytic lesion. A needle biopsy of the mandible showed a lobular design comprised of groups and clusters of osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells, hemorrhage, and hemosiderin deposits and vascular fibroblastic stroma that were indicative of the brown tumor.
