ENERGY METABOLISM IN HYDRONEPHROTIC KIDNEYS

Shear wave velocity measurements using acoustic radiation force impulse in young children with normal kidneys versus hydronephrotic kidneys

PURPOSE To measure shear wave velocities (SWVs) by acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) ultrasound elastography in normal kidneys and in hydronephrotic kidneys in young children and to compare SWVs between the hydronephrosis grades. METHODS This study was approved by an institutional review board, and informed consent was obtained from the parents of all the children included. Children und...

Ultrasound versus Fluoroscopy Guided Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy for Treatment of Calculi in Hydronephrotic Kidneys

Purpose: To compare the success and complication rates of ultrasound with fluoroscopically guided Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in hydronephrotic kidneys. Patients and Methods: The computer archived files of patients with renal calculi who underwent PCNL between October 2007 and November 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. The study included adult patients with hydronephrotic kidneys. Bas...

Comparison of transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy outcomes in atrophic and hydronephrotic kidneys.

OBJECTIVE To compare the results of transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy in patients with atrophic and hydronephrotic kidneys. MATERIAL AND METHODS Clinical data were collected from 35 patients who had undergone laparoscopic nephrectomies for atrophic or hydronephrotic non-functioning kidneys between January 2010 and March 2014. Comparative analysis was carried out between the two groups ...

Ammonia metabolism in kidneys of suckling rats.

GOLDSTEIN, LEON Ammonia metabolism in kidneys of suckling rats. Am. J. Physiol. 220( 1) : 213-217. 1971.-The response of renal ammonia excretion to an acid load was significantly less in rats l-2 weeks old than in adults. A response similar to that observed in adults appeared between 14 and 16 days after birth. General functional differentiation of the nephron, judged by the ability of isolated...
