We report a case of renal autotransplantation performed successfully for an iatrogenic ureteric injury with loss of 9 cm of ureteric length. The surgical options available for management of ureteric injuries are discussed, varying from a simple re-anastomosis to the more complex renal autotransplantation.

background: acute renal failure describes as a syndrome by rapid decline in the ability of the kidney to eliminate waste products, regulate acid–base balance, and manage water homeostasis. when this impairment is prolonged and entered chronic phase, erythropoietin secretion by this organ is decreasing and toxic metabolic accumulates and causes hematological changes include decrease of hct, mcv ...

background chronic inflammation is the most important cause of cardiovascular disease in patients undergoing hemodialysis, and vitamin c as a major antioxidant which could be effective to suppress inflammation. objectives this study was performed to evaluate the effect of vitamin c supplementation on c-reactive protein levels in patients undergoing hemodialysis. patients and methods this random...

conclusions people with chronic kidney disease regardless of their age, gender, state of health, and duration of hemodialysis experience high levels of fatigue; it is particularly important for health providers to understand this level of fatigue which affects the daily life of patients. results all the patients experienced degrees of fatigue and 50 (30.7%) of the participants experienced a hig...

Several recent studies based on restriction fragment length polymor phism analysis have supported the concept that the accumulation of multiple genetic alterations converts a normal cell to a malignant cell. Activation of oncogenes and/or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes have been observed during tumor progression in colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer. To investigate the po...

Background Renal denervation (RDN) is an effective treatment for resistant hypertension with expanding indications in the hypertensive population [1]. The European Society of Hypertension (ESH) guidelines [2], largely based on the Symplicity trial inclusion criteria, state RDN should not be performed if the patient has multiple renal arteries, renal artery stenosis or renal arteries with a diam...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between urolithiasis and characteristics of renal shape in adult patients with horseshoe kidney (HSK) diagnosed on multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT). METHODS We evaluated 36 patients with HSK and urolithiasis (Group A) and 70 patients with HSK without urolithiasis (Group B) whose disease was diagnosed on non-contrast ...

PURPOSE Radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) is a standard treatment for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma. However, RNU can result in decreased renal function and cannot be treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. We performed a risk group stratification analysis to determine the preoperative factors that are predictive of diminished renal function after RNU. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospec...

That the right renal vein is shorter than the left is an incontestable anatomical fact. The distance from ostium to renal sinus in the right side is about 3 cm, whereas the left renal vein has a length close to 5 cm. Certainly, right renal vein is shorter than the left, but it has less anatomical complexity because not only gonadal vein flows into the left but also, occasionally, any posterior ...
