Vitamin C-Induced Oxalate Nephropathy in a Septic Patient
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Vitamin C is a novel treatment currently under investigation in the management of sepsis. Adverse renal effects of vitamin C through hyperoxaluria have been described in the past. DATA SOURCES: We report the case of a 63-year-old man admitted in a community-based hospital with a diagnosis of sepsis of pulmonary origin. DATA EXTRACTION: On day 19, despite a having developed oligoanuric acute kidney injury, a regimen of IV vitamin C, hydrocortisone, and thiamine was undertaken for 4 days. On day 23, the patient required renal replacement therapy with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 7 mL/min. Renal biopsy revealed extensive acute tubular necrosis associated with the presence of intratubular crystal of calcium oxalate. CONCLUSION: Although vitamin C seems to be a possible therapeutic asset in the supportive care of sepsis patients, larger cohorts are required to ensure its safety and underlying or novel kidney injury should forewarn clinicians as to its use.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
