Cystinosis is one of the earliest described inborn errors of metabolism, first documented in 1903. 1 It is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition and presents as a broader phenotype than merely the initial renal Fanconi syndrome, one that affects different organ systems as the patient ages. Understanding of this pan-tissue and pan-organ disease has evolved over the past century, and is t...

Renal locoregional therapy or local ablation therapy, offers a valid solution for patients with small renal tumours that are not suitable surgical candidates. Local ablation techniques are usually performed under imaging guidance and are minimal invasive. However, complications may occur even with this minimal invasive treatment. The most frequent complication of ablation treatment is bleeding....

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) and renal complications emerge in some patients after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) to treat abdominal aorta aneurysm (AAA). The mechanisms for the causes of these problems are not clear. We hypothesized that for EVAR patients, lower limb exercise could negatively influence the physiology of the renal artery and the renal function, by decreasing the blood flow ...

Aim of the Work: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of endovascular techniques in the management of gross hematuria caused by iatrogenic renal vascular injury. Specifically, we aimed to assess different embolic agents, different methods of embolization and their impact on the renal parenchymal loss and renal function. Patients and Methods: This is a single institutional study carried out ...
