background: primary infection with bk virus (bkv) is occurred during childhood and usually asymptomatic, but after initial infection, bkv may persist lifelong in the kidney and genitourinary tract. reactivation may occur in individuals with compromised immunity such as renal transplant recipients. due to the role of bkv in bk virus-associated nephropathy (bkvan) and potentially renal allograft ...

background: early detection of renal diseases in children can be beneficial for prevention, delaying disease progression, reduction of the number of patients with progressive renal failure. the most common metabolic disorders predisposing renal calculus in children are: hypercalciuria, hyperuricosuria, hyperoxaluria, renal tubular acidosis, and hypocitraturia. objectives: in this research, we s...

background and objective: cytomegalovirus (cmv) infections are associated with severe morbidity and mortality in patients, especially pediatric renal transplantation patients. the use of immunosuppressive agents places these patients at the risk of viral infections. as cytomegalovirus infection influences the graft outcome, adopting useful strategies for limiting this virus after transplantatio...

the correlation of vesicoureteral reflux (vur), urinary tract infection (uti) and renal scarring is well known. several risk factors for renal parenchymal lesions have been reported previously. we determine the incidence of renal parenchymal damage and outcome in the siblings of children with primary vur. a total of 96 siblings of patients with vur, were evaluated with direct voiding cystograph...

Introduction: Infectious bronchitis (IB), caused by infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), is an acute and highly contagious disease in chickens. IBV is mainly considered a respiratory infection, other clinical manifestations, including renal, enteric and reproductive signs can be observed. Aim: Since there has been no study on evaluation of changes in biochemical parameters during IB infection, th...

Background and Objective: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are associated with severe morbidity and mortality in patients, especially pediatric renal transplantation patients. The use of immunosuppressive agents places these patients at the risk of viral infections. As cytomegalovirus infection influences the graft outcome, adopting useful strategies for limiting this virus after transplantatio...

Renal, the main characteristic of COVID-19 infection. Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been documented in 20-50% hospitalized patients. Renal involvement among patients might be multifactorial. Patients with AKI significantly had higher mortality than without AKI. This case series reported severe respiratory failure and during admission to hospital. All were admitted intensive care unit (ICU) obta...

Background: Urinary tract infection in children may cause renal scar formation, which can be prevented by early and appropriate treatment. Recent studies showed that single daily injection of gentamycin can produce best effect without increasing the side effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of renal scar formation when new regime (every other day gentamicin injection) used fo...
