OBJECTIVE
We assess the incidence of electrolyte and creatinine changes following unstented bilateral ureteral reimplantation and attempt to identify associated risk factors.
METHODS
A total of 107 consecutive children with bilateral vesicoureteral reflux underwent bilateral unstented ureteral
Cases of acute renal failure after transurethral resection of the prostate have been reported since the late 1940s. The pathogenic mechanisms postulated were acute hemolysis, renal interstitial edema, ischemic tubular injury, and rhabdomyolysis, resulting from the absorption of irrigating fluid.
We describe an uncircumcised male infant treated for urinary tract infection who exhibited multiple hormonal and electrolyte abnormalities consistent with a diagnosis of transient pseudohypoaldosteronism. Successful treatment of the urinary tract infection was accompanied by the resolution of all
The detrusor contraction induced by intramural nerve stimulation in human neurogenic bladders was investigated in comparison with control bladders. All the cases with the neurogenic bladder underwent ileocystoplasty in order to resolve intractable incontinence and/or vesicoureteral reflux due to low
We report 2 cases that fulfill some of the criteria for the diagnosis of Bartter's syndrome and were associated with marked radiological changes. Both patients demonstrated distortion of the caliceal pattern with medullary cavities and loss of cortical substance in the absence of vesicoureteral
Radioligand receptor binding experiments and in vitro muscle contractile studies were performed to determine the binding and functional properties of detrusor muscarinic cholinergic receptors in control and myelodysplastic bladders. Control bladder tissue was obtained from 8 children with primary
A study on the testing unit was made of a contractile function of ureteral fragments removed at reconstructive operations for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), neuromuscular dysplasia (NMD) and pelvoureteral segment stricture (PUSS). The study parameters (wall rigidity, amplitude of the contractions,
OBJECTIVE
To compare the efficacy of 3-day vs 10-day treatment with a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium for children with uncomplicated urinary tract infections and to determine the role of host factors, including vesicoureteral reflux, and of bacterial virulence factors,
OBJECTIVE
Previous studies have suggested that exstrophic bladder smooth muscle cells grown in culture show contractility similar to that of normal bladder smooth muscle cells. Despite this similar contractility, other cellular characteristics may vary between exstrophic and normal bladder smooth
OBJECTIVE
Abnormalities in renal tubular function have been observed in hydronephrotic urinary tract disease, resulting in metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia and excessive free water diuresis. The frequency of these abnormalities, particularly in our infant population, was the impetus for our
Serum electrolyte equilibrium and plasma aldosterone concentrations were monitored in 19 infants who had severe obstructive uropathy or grade 5 vesico-ureteral reflux and were undergoing surgical correction in the first 2 months of life. Before surgery high plasma aldosterone levels were observed in
Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) is the most common congenital anomaly of the urinary tract that occurs in 30%-50% of children presenting with recurrent urinary tract infections. Long-standing untreated VUR results in renal scarring and hydronephrotic changes ultimately leading to chronic renal failure
Renal scarring associated with vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR), most commonly detected in young children, is associated with a significant risk of developing hypertension in later life. Hypertension in reflux nephropathy contributes significantly to morbidity including deterioration of renal function.
BACKGROUND
There is limited data about urolithiasis in young infants. We reviewed clinical, imaging, and biochemical data of urolithiasis in the first 2 months of life.
METHODS
In an 11-year period, 77 of the 1172 children diagnosed with urolithiasis (6.8%) were 60 days old and younger (64.9% boys
Idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) predisposes to urinary tract infections (UTIs); however, there is scarce local information regarding such association. Our objectives were to estimate IH prevalence in children with UTI and to assess whether there were differences in relation to the presence or absence
