Acute Interstitial Nephritis 


Leukocyte casts are most consistent with a tubulointerstitial disease or pyelonephritis, although they occasionally are seen in glomerular disorders.

The patient's lower extremity findings are most consistent with chronic venous insufficiency and stasis dermatitis. Chronic venous insufficiency usually results from incompetence of venous valves in the lower extremities that causes venous hypertension in dependent areas and leads to increased vascular permeability, edema, and the release of inflammatory mediators.

What amino acid is said to be the cause of people wanting to take a nap following eating turkey? 

Tryptophan

Uremic frost is the dermatologic manifestation of profound azotemia and occurs when urea and other nitrogenous waste products accumulate in sweat and crystallize after evaporation. This clinical finding is very uncommon because of the earlier detection and treatment of end-stage kidney disease.

Erythema multiforme is an acute, often recurrent mucocutaneous eruption that usually follows an acute infection, most frequently recurrent herpes simplex virus infection. It may also be idiopathic or drug related. Lesions range in size from several millimeters to several centimeters and consist of erythematous plaques with concentric rings of color. The dusky center may become necrotic and can form a discrete blister or eschar. Erythema multiforme is most commonly located on the extremities, particularly the palms and soles. Mucosal lesions are present in up to 70% of patients.
