conclusions the patient underwent surgery applying a midline incision. the left kidney showed a lump pattern embedded in lower pole of the right kidney. left sided nephrectomy was performed while temporary right renal artery was clamped temporarily. histopathological evaluation revealed clear cell carcinoma with severe nuclear atypia (fuhrman grade 4/4). however, local recurrence was not detect...

teratomas are rare germline tumors that originate from one or more embryonic germ cell layers. teratoma of the kidney is extremely rare, and less than 30 cases of primary intrarenal teratomas have been published to date. we report the main radiologic features of an unusual case of mature cystic teratoma arising from the left kidney in a two-year-old boy. a left-sided abdominal mass was detected...

conclusions oxygen therapy in the case group had no significant impact on protection from dgf. results forty living kidney transplantations including 17 cases and 23 controls were performed; female gender was more prevalent in recipients (n = 16, 40%). the mean age of recipients was 36.1 ± 12.4 (18-67) years old. dgf was detected in 2 (5.95%) individuals, from whom one was in the case group and...

background: acetaminophen (apap) overdose causes renal and hepatic injury. it is ‎also believed that oxidative stress has a pivotal role in apap-induced renal injury. ‎therefore, protective effects of different antioxidants have been examined in apap-‎induced renal and hepatic toxicity models. stevia rebadiana is a plant with a high ‎degree of natural antioxidant activity in its leaf extract. t...

cox regression model serves as a statistical method for analyzing the survival data, which requires some options such as hazard proportionality. in recent decades, artificial neural network model has been increasingly applied to predict survival data. this research was conducted to compare cox regression and artificial neural network models in prediction of kidney transplant survival. the prese...

hypertension is a common complication of kidney transplantation with the prevalence of 80%. studies in adults have shown a high prevalence of hypertension (htn) in the first three months of transplantation while this rate is reduced to 50- 60% at the end of the first year. htn remains as a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, lower graft survival rates and poor function of transplante...

100 kidney transplants have been carried out on 91 patients (7 had 2 transplants and 2 had 3 transplants). 4 transplants were from living related donors and 96 from cadavers. 76 patients survive, all but one with functioning kidneys. The cumulative survival of patients was 82% at 2 years and 80-7% at 5 years. 8 patients died with functioning grafts, and 2 of the other deaths took place more tha...

All (except one) were healthy young Gurkhas. All necessary precautions were taken in every case. Their urines were alkaline, intake of fluids was satisfactory, quantity of sulphapyridine given was not excessive (one gramme four-hourly on the first day and one gramme six-hourly on the following day). Oliguria and later anuria were noticed on about the fifth day after starting the drug. Blood pre...

In normotensive rats, stimulation of renal mechanoreceptors by an increase in ureteral pressure results in a contralateral inhibitory renorenal reflex response with contralateral natriuresis. Similar effects are produced by stimulation of renal chemoreceptors by renal pelvic perfusion with 0.9 M NaCl. However, in spontaneously hypertensive rats the renorenal reflex responses to renal mechanorec...
