Abstract   Background: Invasive fungal infection is an opportunistic infection caused commonly   by mucoraccae and aspergillus. It mostly occurs in patients with underlying disease.   Since it has a high mortality and morbidity rate, considering a treatment strategy seems   necessary.   Objective: Since there has not been a clear protocol for treating these patients, we decided   to establish...

Advances in nephrology and pediatric urology have increased the number of children who survive renal disease and become candidates for renal transplantation. Ten years of experience in pediatric renal transplantation are reviewed to determine the rates of patient morbidity and graft survival. Of the 450 renal transplantations performed in Imam Reza Hospital (1989- 1999), fifty-one were don...

background: urinary tract infection in children may cause renal scar formation, which can be prevented by early and appropriate treatment. recent studies showed that single daily injection of gentamycin can produce best effect without increasing the side effects. the aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of renal scar formation when new regime (every other day gentamicin injection) used fo...

The association between acute renal disease and infection has been known since the mid ‘800s. PIGN is a reactive immunological process against kidney secondary to an infection, classically caused by Streptococcus. Because usually ongoing at time GN diagnosed, term infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) proposed. Acute post-streptococcal [APSGN] most common form of encountered in children. ...

'die presence anil significance of hepatitis c virus infection among patients with chronic renal failure (crf) on hemodialysis and renal transplant recipient were evaluated a pcrioil of 30 months. a total of 125 patients, comprising 25 recieving chronic hemodialysis, 47 renal transplant candidates and 5.1 renal transplant recipients, were studied with a second generation immunoassay (elisa ii)....

The case of a 9-month-old infant presenting with urinary tract infection due to Proteus mirabilis followed by acute renal failure congenital urethral stenosis calculosis is described. diagnostic implication discussed.

Renal diseases occur frequently in patients chronically infected by hepatitis C virus (HCV). These may be causes or consequences of HCV infection. The prevalence of HCV infection in patients receiving hemodialysis is 6.7% to 10.2% in some centers in Mexico. However, the problem may be greater than these percentages suggest because the prevalence of HCV infection is as high as 50% in some countr...

AIM To assess the value of measuring the gastric juice urea:ammonium ratio in detecting Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with chronic renal failure. METHODS Twenty three (12 men) patients with established chronic renal failure and dyspepsia were studied. Gastric juice (2 ml) was aspirated during endoscopy to measure urea and ammonium. The upper gastrointestinal tract was routinely in...
