BACKGROUND We tried to understand whether or not there is a higher risk of left renal atrophy in human being. METHODS All patients applying to the Hematology Service with any underlying complaint were studied. RESULTS The study included 2,417 cases (1,248 females). The mean ages were 47.3 versus 50.7 years in females and males, respectively (p<0.000). There were 33 cases (1.3%) with the lef...

background: early detection of renal diseases in children can be beneficial for prevention, delaying disease progression, reduction of the number of patients with progressive renal failure. the most common metabolic disorders predisposing renal calculus in children are: hypercalciuria, hyperuricosuria, hyperoxaluria, renal tubular acidosis, and hypocitraturia. objectives: in this research, we s...

BACKGROUND Renal allograft outcome, during an 8 year period (1985-1992), has been assessed in 56 renal transplants performed in 55 patients who had end-stage renal failure as a consequence of urological abnormalities. The abnormalities were: primary vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) or renal dysplasia (26 patients); posterior urethral valves (PUV) (15); neuropathic bladders (6); vesico-ureteric tuber...

BACKGROUND A correlation between decreased blood coagulation factor XIII activity and the severity of organ disorders in pediatric Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) has been demonstrated, but possible correlations in adult HSP have not been thoroughly investigated. OBJECTIVES To investigate the association between factor XIII activity with varying clinical severities of HSP and the severity of o...

at 30 minutes after intravenous administration of the glomerular renal agent tc-99m-dtpa, both right and left lateral views were obtained. we analyzed the ratio of optical densities (behind the ureter/in front of the ureter). in patients without gross renal failure or retroperitoneal disease, the ratio was always less than 1 (range 0.38 to 0.95, mean 0.68). this represents greater perfusion of ...

results; out of 634 patients, 61 subjects (9.62%) had significant complications including: acute renal failure, alveolar hemorrhage, ards, clotting disorders, pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding and intracranial bleeding; age, jaundice, renal and pulmonary involvement (oliguria and anuria), hypotension, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, hyponatremia, elevated bilirubin, alanine aminotransfera...

A high fat meal, frequently known as western diet (WD), exacerbates atherosclerosis and diabetes. Both these diseases are frequently associated with renal failure. Recent studies have shown that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) leaks into the circulation from the intestine in the setting of renal failure and after WD. However, it is not clear how renal function and associated disorders are affected by ...
