A 51-year-old male with a long history of tobacco smoking presented to the outpatient clinic with left renal colic. A renal ultrasound revealed a mass in the left kidney. The patient was admitted to surgical clinic of Russian Scientific Center of Roentgen-Radiology of Rosmedtechnology. A renal biopsy and subsequent histopathological tests revealed adenocarcinoma of the right kidney of most like...

Abstract Background and Aims Cancer survival in the general population has improved over time. Kidney failure have a higher incidence of cancer with increased mortality. Relative following diagnosis can provide more insight into excess mortality directly or indirectly attributed to kidney population. Method We estimated compared relative for dialysis patients, transplant recipients Australia Ne...

This paper presents a clinical case of laparoscopic nephrectomy for large (10 cm) renal sinus mass in an allograft kidney, followed by intrarenal urinary tract reconstruction with ureteral reimplantation. The surgery had acceptable oncological outcome, without loss kidney function. Regardless the volume and extent tumor process, use minimally invasive, nephron-sparing treatment techniques takes...

Spontaneous rupture of the kidney is a sporadicallyoccurring complication connected with cancer-related or cancer-unrelated kidney diseases. The study presents the case of a 53-year-old male patient who had had a kidney cyst diagnosed several years earlier, and was admitted to the hospital in a state of hypovolemic shock caused by spontaneous rupture of the kidney. fig. 1. CT abdominal examinat...

An elevated familial relative risk may indicate either an important genetic component in etiology or shared environmental exposures within the family. Incidence rates of kidney cancer are particularly high in Central Europe, although no data were available on the familial aggregation or genetic background of kidney cancer in this region. We have, therefore, investigated the role of family histo...

Urinary extracellular vesicles (uEV) hold non-invasive RNA biomarkers for genitourinary tract diseases. However, missing knowledge about reference genes and effects of preanalytical choices hinder biomarker studies. We aimed to assess how variables (urine storage temperature, isolation workflow) affect diabetic kidney disease (DKD)—linked miRNAs or kidney—linked mRNAs (kidney-RNAs) in uEV isola...

PURPOSE To evaluate the association between incidence of any kidney cancer and type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS A random sample of 1,000,000 subjects covered by the National Health Insurance was recruited. A total of 998728 people (115655 diabetes and 883073 non-diabetes) without kidney cancer at recruitment were followed from 2003 to 2005. The cumulative incidence of kidney cancer from 2003...

Cisplatin, a commonly used cancer chemotherapeutic, has a dose-limiting side effect of nephrotoxicity. Approximately 30% of patients administered cisplatin suffer from kidney injury, and there are limited treatment options for the treatment of cisplatin-induced kidney injury. Suramin, which is Federal Drug Administration-approved for the treatment of trypanosomiasis, improves kidney function af...

We conducted a case-control analysis, a family-based population analysis, and a meta-analysis to assess the role of family history of cancer and kidney cancer in association with the risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A total of 325 cases and 329 controls were identified from an ongoing case-control study of RCC. Study variables were assessed through 45-minute structured face-to-face interview...
