    (Wiley, 2023) Ozer, Hakan; Ozturk, Yasin; Yonet, Fethi; Baloglu, Ismail; Turkmen, Kultigin; Selcuk, Nedim Yilmaz; Tonbul, Halil Zeki
    IntroductionThis study investigated the relationship between ultrafiltration (UF) volume and pruritus severity based on the idea that skin perfusion and inflammatory changes occur in dialysis patients with high UF volume.Materials and MethodsThis observational study included 392 patients. Patients filled out the Numerical Rating Scale, Verbal Rating Scale, and Visual Analogue Scale, showing the severity of pruritis. UF volumes in the last 12 sessions were recorded and averaged.ResultsThe rate of patients with pruritis was between 59.4% and 67.5% in the three scales. In three pruritis scales, the severity of pruritis, age, body mass index (BMI), UF volume, and UF volume/body weight ratio were positively correlated. UF volume/body weight ratio, age, and BMI were independent predictors of pruritis severity.ConclusionLimiting interdialytic weight gain may be an important treatment approach in pruritus control.

    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Ozer, Hakan; Sayan, Zeynep Aybike; Baloglu, Ismail; Ozturk, Yasin; Yonet, Fethi; Turkmen, Kultigin
    Introduction: Spanish Lavender is an herbal from the lavender family and is widely used among people for the belief that it cures various diseases. Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is one of the common causes of acute kidney injury (AKI). Although drugs are the most common cause of AIN, the frequency of reporting AIN cases due to various herbals has been increasing in recent years. Case presentation: We present a 24-year-old male patient who developed AKI after consuming Spanish lavender tea to treat upper respiratory tract infection symptoms and was diagnosed with AIN. Aim and discussion: With this case report, we wanted to explain the fact that medicinal herbs, which are used frequently and carelessly today, can have serious consequences, as in acute interstitial nephritis associated with Spanish lavender.
