A 37-year-old male was referred to our hospital due to an abnormal ultrasound report of the right kidney in a regular health examination. The patient was asymptomatic and did not report fever, flank pain or dysuria. Repeated ultrasonography at our hospital revealed a hypoechoic area in the right central renal sinus, suggesting right hydronephrosis, but the obstructive site could not be found (F...

INTRODUCTION Ureteral obstruction is a potentially serious complication after ureteroscopy. Postoperative imaging with intravenous urogram and CT has been described as a means to detect asymptomatic or "silent" obstruction. We sought to evaluate the use of renal ultrasound to diagnose hydronephrosis after ureteroscopy in a large, contemporary series. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of the 438 ureterosc...

INTRODUCTION Even though it is uncommon, uterine prolapse can cause compression of ureters and bilateral hydronephrosis, predisposing to arterial hypertension and renal failure. Hydronephrosis consequent to cystocele and to vaginal prolapse is even rarer. CASE REPORT This paper reports on a 59 year-old patient, Caucasian, obese and hysterectomized who presented complete vaginal prolapse with ...

Setting: Kidney Centre Post Graduate Training Centre, Karachi. Period: January to December 2020. Material & Methods: This study was done know post-operative including bleeding, infection, and incomplete stone clearance patients...

OBJECTIVE Management options of gestational hydronephrosis are based on the coexisting stone disease, pyelonephritis, and renal disease. However, the management option and its consequences in the absence of a coexisting disease state are not clear. In this study we aimed to compare the effectiveness of conservative treatment and double J insertion in symptomatic pure gestational hydronephrosis....

Ultrasound is very sensitive in diagnosing obstruction by demonstrating hydronephrosis (1, 2). Ultrasonography has great advantage over IVU in patients who have azotemia, contrast materialinduced allergy, are pregnant, fetal, or pediatric patients with no exposure to radiation. And ultrasonography can nicely visualize the both the renal parenchyma and the collecting system as well as causative ...
