Se describe el caso de un paciente con trasplante renal secundario a arteritis de Takayasu, que presenta disfunción renal evidenciada por elevación progresiva de creatinina sérica, por lo que se le realiza una biopsia renal en donde se observaron inclusiones nucleares virales que permitieron concluir el diagnóstico de nefropatía por poliomavirus.

Polyomavirus nephropathy is a disease that predominates in renal transplant patients due to the immunosuppressive treatment for the maintenance of the renal graft. The current prevalence of this disease ranges between 1-14%. The suspicion of the disease comes from the presence of decoy cells in urine samples and the gold standard for the diagnosis is the presence of viral inclusions in the renal biopsy. In this case report, we describe a patient with a renal transplant secondary to Takayasu arteritis who presented renal failure evidenced by progressive elevation of serum creatinine. The renal biopsy showed viral inclusions, confirming the diagnosis.

We report the morbidity and mortality of a group of 1229 RN treated at a six-month period (October 86-April 87) and coming from the south of Lima, marginal urban area. 65% were normal RN that did not require more care than routine, 35% requirireron different care, because they had some kind of pathology. The RN 1229, were PEG 139 (11.3%), AEG 995 (81%) and 95 GEG (7.7%). AEG sick 32.2%, the 55.4% PEG sick and ill GEG 40%. Mortality is 1% for AEG, 1.1% for the GEG and 6.5% for the PEG. The risk of disease and death was greater for men. Below 1.500 g., 95% sick and low mortality is 71.4%. 3.1% were premature, 1% were underweight. Premature babies are at increased risk of illness and death, sick and die 75.6% to 30%. The most frequent morbidity was intrauterine hypoxia, 20%, followed by infections, 15.4% (sepsis, 6.9%). The neonatal mortality rate was 16 per 1,000 including neonatal sepsis ...
