Renal Function in Experimental Hydronephrosis
Complete obstruction of the ureter causes atrophy of the renal parenchyma, especially marked in the portions lateral to the renal sinus. The longer the duration of the obstruction, the greater is the degree of atrophy. If the obstruction is removed within 2 weeks the kidney may regain its normal structure except for a varying amount of atrophy in the lateral portions. Kidneys obstructed for 2 w...
متن کاملA case of unilateral giant hydronephrosis with renal insufficiency.
Giant hydronephrosis, which is a symptomless enlargement of the abdomen, is an extremely rare condition in adults, with most cases being discovered in young-to-middle-aged people. We report a case of adult giant hydronephrosis accompanied by renal insufficiency, in which surgical repair was not performed because of the patient's poor cardiac function. Nephrostomy was performed and was followed ...
متن کاملAssessment of the individual renal function in chronic unilateral renal obstruction using functional CT as compared to 99mTc-DTPA renal scan
Introduction: The selection of optimal treatment of obstructive nephrouropathy requires information about the functional status of each kidney. Nuclear renal scanning objectively measure differential renal function, multiple studies have demonstrated the role of assessment of renal perfusion and GFR with triphasic CT. The aim of this study is to assess the role of CT based on renal parenchyma...
متن کاملUnilateral Hydronephrosis and Renal Damage after Acute Leukemia
A 14-year-old boy presented with asymptomatic right hydronephrosis detected on routine yearly ultrasound examination. Previously, he had at least two normal renal ultrasonograms, 4 years after remission of acute myeloblastic leukemia, treated by AML-BFM-93 protocol. A function of the right kidney and no damage on the left was confirmed by a DMSA scan. Right retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy reve...
متن کاملRole of renal dynamic imaging in evaluation of impairment of renal function in pediatric congenital hydronephrosis
Objective: Congenital hydronephrosis is a common prenatally diagnosed anomaly associated with an incidence of approximately 0.5-1% in newborns. The purpose of this study was to clarify the value of 99 m diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) in the assessment of renal function impairment of pediatric hydronephrosis. Methods: A total of 48 children with unilateral ureteropelvic junctio...
