چکیده
Patients, methods, and results Episodes of acute graft dysfunction (increase in creatinine concentrations of ¢30 [imol/l between two successive measurements) occurring during January 1984 to February 1988 were studied retrospectively. Only patients who underwent a Tru-Cut biopsy of their transplant were included so that histological evidence was available. Patients with a proved urinary tract infection or evidence of ureteric obstruction were excluded. With these criteria we identified 131 episodes of acute graft dysfunction in 80 patients. The transplanted kidney was scanned daily from the first postoperative day until the patient was discharged. Subsequent scanning was performed in the transplant clinic at varying intervals. All scans were performed by the same ultrasonographer (AB) with an Aloka SSD630 real time ultrasound machine fitted with a 3 5 MHz transducer. The ultrasound probe was lined up over the hilum to show a transverse cross section. The outline of the kidney was traced, and from this the machine calculated and displayed the area of the cross section (cm2). Four measurements were made each

متن کاملResults of Pyeloplasty in patients with Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in Pediatric Surgery Center in Bandar Abbas
Introduction: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is associated with inadequate urine drainage from renal pelvis into ureter. UPJO results from incomplete recanalization of proximal ureter during fetal period which finally leads to hydrostatic distention of renal pelvis and calyces. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, ultrasound, and diuretic isotopic renogram. Various surgical metho...
