Renal function tends to deteriorate in a hyperchloremic acidifying environment, which is reflected by a decrease in the difference between sodium and chloride.To examine the effect of furosemide administered under hyperchloremic acidosis on intraoperative Renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD), with hypoplasia especially of renal proximal convoluted tubules and clinical neonatal anuria or oliguria, has been reported as a congenital familial (autosomal recessive) disease, variably with features of oligohydramnios, Potter syndrome, or pulmonary hypoplasia. A
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) and deteriorating renal function are associated with congenital cyanotic heart disease (CCHD). We describe a nine-year-old African male child with CCHD, NS and deteriorating renal function. He presented with two weeks' history of progressive generalized body swelling,
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is caused by uneven shunting of blood between monochorionic twins, resulting in polycythemia in the recipient twin and growth restriction, anemia, and oliguria in the donor twin. Recent reports have described loss of proximal convoluted tubules in the kidneys
In very long-chain acylCoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCAD), the activity of this enzyme is either reduced or absent with the inability to use long-chain fatty acids as energy substrates. A 25-year old male with VLCAD was admitted to the Emergency Department of Policlinico Teaching Hospital (Modena,
Acute renal failure is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. The prompt, effective management of acute oliguria, frequently the presenting sign of renal deterioration, remains difficult because of the lack of suitable monitors. No monitor presently in common use is
316 kidney transplants were carried out in the Ramón y Cajal Hospital between November 1979 and December 1988. The number of breakages was 7. In this paper we analyse the incidence of this complication as well as the etiopathogeny of the process, highlighting the relationship between the appearance
BACKGROUND
Collapsing Glomerulopathy (CG) is recognized as distinct pattern of proliferative parenchymal injury with poor response to empirical therapy.
OBJECTIVE
A single center retrospective study was carried out to find out clinicopathological features of idiopathic CG.
METHODS
A total of 3335
Fifty patients of acute renal failure following Viperine snake bite were studied. Oliguria (100%), local swelling (48%) and bleeding tendencies (42%) were the predominant clinical features encountered. Of the 25 patients in whom detailed coagulation studies were done, 24 patients had disseminated
We report a 67-year-old man with progressive disturbance of gait. He was well until the spring of 1993 (62 years of the age), when he noted an onset of unsteady gait. He also noted that he started to have a difficulty in playing tennis, in which he became unable to hit the ball with his racket. He
Contrast nephropathy is an adverse alteration in renal function induced by intravascular contrast media. Most cases involve transient asymptomatic episodes; yet a significant number involve oliguria and/or permanent renal damage. The incidence of contrast nephropathy in the general hospitalized
BACKGROUND
Most literature on the medical emergency team (MET) relates to its effects on patient outcome. Less information exists on the most common causes of MET calls or on possible approaches to their management.
METHODS
We reviewed the calling criteria and clinical causes of 400 MET calls in a
A case of Red-bellied Black snake envenomation resulting in intravascular haemolytic anaemia, rhabdomyolysis and anuric renal failure is described in the dog. A 12-year-old female desexed Golden Retriever was presented with a 15 hour history of profuse salivation, progressive lethargy, obtundence,
BACKGROUND
Iatrogenic bilateral ureteric injury is a rare complication of pelvic surgery, which if not recognised immediately results in significant morbidity and even mortality
OBJECTIVE
To describe the presentation, aetiology and treatment of iatrogenic bilateral ureteric injuries recognised late
