normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: acute kidney injury (aki) is commonly occurred in intensive care unit (icu) patients. the aim of the study was a comparison of rifle (risk of renal injury/injury to the kidney/failure of kidney function/loss of kidney function/end stage disease) classification with other scoring systems in the evaluation of aki in icus. materials and met...

conclusions this case raises awareness on the lack of visualization of ureteral flux during conventional cystoscopic evaluation in patients with renal failure undergoing pelvic organ prolapse repair, while also emphasizing the importance of confirming ureteral patency via retrograde ureteral intubation when cystoscopy is non-diagnostic. background pelvic floor reconstruction can result in obstr...

autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (adpkd) is the most common form of inherited kidney disease that results in renal failure. pkd currently has no causative therapy. however, some treatment options are available, ranging from symptomatic therapy to delaying the onset of end-stage renal failure. early diagnosis of adult polycystic kidney disease is vital in order to prevent its complic...

We report three cases of end-stage renal failure necessitating hemodialysis subsequent to BCG administration for the treatment of upper-urinary tract transitional-cell carcinoma in patients with a solitary kidney, one with normal renal function and two with chronic renal failure prior to BCG instillation. We discuss treatment-related issues with pertinent literature review.

Objectives: 1.To estimate serum intact parathormone(iPTH) and other biochemical parameters (calcium, inorganic phosphate, urea and creatinine) in chronic renal failure and healthy volunteers. 2. To compare and find out correlation between serum intact parathormone and biochemical parameters in the study group. Methods: For the study of 5 stages of chronic renal failure(CRF) totally 150 patients...

objective: we report a case of intraperitoneal urinary bladder rupture i week following normal delivery in a primigravida, who presented with huge urinary ascites, anuria and renal failure. abdominal paracentesis and exploratory laparotomy was done and a diagnosis of intraperitoneal bladder rupture was made. the rent was repaired in layers. this may be preventable if adequate precaution in the ...

Levosimendan is a novel inotropic agent indicated for patients with decompensated heart failure. It has well recognised mechanisms of action. Its use however, has not been described in patients with end-stage renal failure. This report describes the use of levosimendan in a post-operative coronary artery bypass graft patient with decompensated heart failure and end-stage renal failure previousl...

Medullary cystic kidney disease (MCD) is characterized by multiple renal cysts at the corticomedullary boundary area, by autosomal dominant inheritance, and by onset of chronic renal failure in the third decade of life. We report on a family with three affected individuals of both sexes in two generations presenting with end-stage renal failure at age 22-31 years. Primarily diagnoses considered...

Objective: To describe a case of Bardet-Biedl syndrome involving renal failure and retinal dystrophy. Case Presentation and Intervention: A 50-year-old female patient presented to the emergency service with uremic symptoms and metabolic acidosis. Polydactyly, retinitis pigmentosa, obesity, strabismus, nistagmus and renal failure were found. Because she had end-stage renal failure, hemodialysis ...

Seventy-eight patients were treated for polycystic disease of the kidneys. An analysis of the interval between the onset of symptoms and end-stage renal failure made it possible to give and accurate prognosis in individual cases. Pregnancy and urinary infection did not appear to accelerate deterioration of renal function, but Rovsing' operation precipitated renal failure in some cases. Forty-tw...
