Biologics that influence the immune system play a crucial role in the treatment of autoimmune and malignant diseases. Overall these drugs have revolutionized treatment as they demonstrate high efficacy and a relatively low amount of side effects. This leads to longer treatment of patients with a high quality of life. Side effects, especially longer-term side effects, become ever more important as patients are simultaneously seen by different physicians due to comorbidities. Infections, mainly of the upper airway or urogenital tract, represent the main side effect of immunosuppressive biologics, but atypical infections by fungi or mycobacteria may also occur. Biologics that enhance the immune response such as checkpoint inhibitors lead to autoimmune phenomena necessitating the interruption of treatment or immunosuppressive treatment.

This article presents the case of a 28-year-old male patient with a renal infarction due to an embolizing traumatic postdissection aneurysm of a renal segmental artery. He presented with abdominal and flank pain 1.5 years after a motorcycle accident. The C‑reactive protein (CRP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were elevated and the diagnosis was made by computed tomography (CT) angiography. Other causes of renal infarction were excluded. After an interdisciplinary discussion we decided to use interventional coiling in this young and athletically active patient in order to avoid long-term anticoagulation.

The acute porphyrias are a group of four metabolic defects in which the heme synthesis in the liver is disrupted. They are characterized by massively painful acute attacks, which can be life-threatening if not diagnosed. To raise the awareness for these rare disorders, a heme molecule in cartoon style is introduced, which accurately explains the basic biochemical processes in the body and mediates important information on the acute hepatic porphyrias in a simplified and attractive way. The article is complemented by a case report.
