Survival is uncommon in cases of acute bilateral cortical necrosis. Three cases admitted to the renal unit at Newcastle have regained useful renal function after oliguric phases of 38, 46, and 120 days.Prolonged periods of intermittent dialysis are justified in patients in whom a firm diagnosis of
BACKGROUND
Acute renal failure (ARF), a common and serious complication in patients with septic shock, has high mortality. Recent data suggest that proinflammatory cytokines may contribute to sepsis-associated ARF.
METHODS
To examine the role of proinflammatory cytokines, we evaluated 537 patients
We used fine-needle intrarenal manometry as a guide for detection of acute rejection superimposed on protracted oliguric acute tubular necrosis occurring in the postoperative course of human renal transplantation. We followed intrarenal pressure (IRP) in 31 patients who received 32 renal
Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn (SFNN) developed in a 1-week-old black boy. His mother had received numerous medications for eclampsia. Birth was by Caesarean section and complicated by meconium aspiration. There were numerous nodules over the back, buttocks and extremities that yielded a
BACKGROUND
Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is usually studied as a single entity, without distinguishing between ischaemic, nephrotoxic and mixed aetiologies. In the present study we evaluated the characteristics and outcomes of patients with ATN by aetiological group.
METHODS
We conducted a
Scanning with technetium-99m was used as a diagnostic aid in renal transplant patients with post-transplant oliguria. It is a safe and dependable method of determining whether the renal vasculature is still intact and can often be used to differentiate acute tubular necrosis from acute rejection.
Substance abusers are at increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to the general population due to nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis. The primary target of these nephrotoxic agents is the tubulointerstitial compartment and the most frequent findings on biopsy are consistent with acute tubular
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to explore the role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).
METHODS
Double-antibody sandwich ELISA was used to determine serum interleukin (IL)-6, urine tumor necrosis factor (TNF), IL-6, and IL-8 levels in 56 patients
