Negative for Borrelia. No titer to check for Lepto

I am posting a few cine’s and a couple of stills photos. I was wondering if I could get an opinion on the kidneys.

Bladder was clean

Rest of abdominal scan looked normal

Thanks

This is your garden variety

This is your garden variety PLN and the type of kidney we see in NJ with Lyme nephritis though negative for you but many things can do this. GN, immune mediated (lupus or other), any tick borne disease, amyloid, lepto…. Remember just a note that IRIS staging is done in a hydrated patient which Im assuming he was. Needs a renal bx or if chasing amyloid you may get an indication with an fna and rhodanine stain in labs that do it. the cortices are a kittle “puffy” and thick and a nebulous CM definition but otherwise not a big deal but azotemia isosthenuria and porteinuria.

 

here are few applicable cases
