PURPOSE To evaluate food intake of patients with urinary lithiasis and idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between August 2007 and June 2008, 105 patients with lithiasis were distributed into 2 groups: Group 1 (n = 55)--patients with IH (urinary calcium excretion > 250 mg in women and 300 mg in men with normal serum calcium); Group 2 (n = 50)--normocalciuria (NC) patients. I...

Proteus mirabilis, a common cause of nosocomial and catheter-associated urinary tract infection, colonizes the bladder and ascends the ureters to the proximal tubules of the kidneys, leading to the development of acute pyelonephritis. P. mirabilis is capable of swarming, a form of multicellular behavior in which bacteria differentiate from the short rod typical of members of the family Enteroba...

Abstract Background Lupus nephritis can be seen in up to 60% of all SLE patients with 10–15% progressing end-stage renal disease; late diagnosis lupus is correlated a higher frequency insufficiency. The study aim determination the value urinary human epidermal growth factor (urinary EGF) as an early biomarker and its relevance disease activity histopathology. Results included 58 30 healthy cont...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The outcome of renal transplantation after an episode of acute rejection is difficult to predict, even with an allograft biopsy. We examined whether urinary expression of specific biomarker mRNA could be used as a noninvasive prognostic marker in kidney transplant recipients. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We studied 63 kidney transplant recipients who...

BACKGROUND Angiosarcoma is a fatal and aggressive mesenchymal tumor. It occurs in skin, breast, and parenchymal organs. It rarely arises primarily in the urinary bladder. Only 13 cases of primary urinary bladder angiosarcoma have been reported in the English literature. CASE REPORT The patient was a 68-year-old man who presented to the Emergency Department with inability to void. Computed tom...

Diabetic polyneuropathy (DP) and angiopathy are interdependent processes, as disturbances in the microcirculatory system of peripheral nerves lead to increased axonal damage is a kind predictor progressing [6]. 80% deaths from diabetes mellitus (DM) associated with cardiovascular catastrophes, including coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke artery [3]. The objective: analyze most common patholog...

The diagnosis of primary hyperoxaluria in young children is hampered by the lack of a reliable reference range for urinary oxalate excretion, especially in infants. We present data on urinary oxalate and glycolate excretion in 137 normal children, on the plasma oxalate concentration in 33 normal children and 53 with chronic renal failure, and on amniotic fluid oxalate concentration in 63 uncomp...

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has entered our lives since 2019. This severe respiratory is caused by type 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Since its first appearance in December 2019, it led to a worldwide pandemic that continues this day. Kidneys can be one of the target organs when infected with (SARS-COV-2). It necessary pay attention surgical interventions on urinary system against background COVID-19....

Neuroendocrine tumors rarely occur in the urinary bladder, relatively less than 1% of occurrence, as tumor is very rare, pathogenesis uncertain some authors showed that it from urothelial origin. It can be carcinomatous, subdivided into small cell and large pathology. Small carcinoma bladder a rarity may present at an advanced pathologic stage. No treatment regimens have been standardized for l...
