Abdominal fat necrosis is a rare cause of abdominal acute pain, classified into primary or secondary according to the cause. Primary fat necrosis includes epiploic appendagitis or idiopathic infarction of the greater omentum. This retrospective study focuses on multislice computed The differential diagnosis of acute flank pain includes kidney stones, urinary tract infection, dissecting abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), arterial or venous compromise of the kidney, renal abscess, renal carcinoma, and papillary necrosis. This is a report of an unusual cause of renal colic:
The experiments were made on 22 rabbits with induced single or recurrent renal colic. Ten animals after renal colic were exposed to magnetolaser radiation. The histological examination of renal tissue demonstrated colic-related changes both in renal body corpuscle and ductules. Parenchimal edema,
A 47-year-old man was admitted for preventive embolisation of a 10 cm angiomyolipoma (AML) of the right kidney. Three weeks after embolisation, he was readmitted at the emergency unit for a right renal colic. The CT scan confirmed the obstruction of the right ureter due to the presence of fatty
Increasing use of endourological procedures to establish a diagnosis of pyeloureteral lesions detected as a repletion deficiency during urographic study, which when they are obstructive, affect the upper urinary tract. The present report describes the use of ureterorenoscopy as a diagnostic and
Renal papillary necrosis in 4 diabetic patients is described. Two of them had underlying diabetic nephropathy. Urinary tract infection was present in all of them. Three patients had passed fleshy material in the urine while in one the diagnosis was established by excretory urography. Two patients
BACKGROUND
Kidney diseases are a growing worldwide problem and one of the major public health threats. We analyzed the spectrum of kidney diseases seen over a five-year period in the nephrology in-patient unit of the Yaounde general hospital.
METHODS
This was a retrospective analysis of 225 medical
Renal scintigraphy is a powerful imaging method that provides both functional and anatomic information, which is particularly useful in the acute care setting. In our institution, for the past 2 decades, we have used a 25-minute renal diuretic protocol, technetium-99m ((99m)Tc)
Addiction and abuse of antipyretic analgesics has been recognized early after the turn of this century. The incidence markedly increased and the syndrome spread over many countries in the first half of the 20th century. The syndrome and its pathology, consisting of renal papillary necrosis and
Results of treatment of 17 patients aged from 27 to 82 years with acute inflammation of omental processes (OP) are analyzed. The majority of them were hospitalized on day 1-3 from the beginning of the disease. In 9 cases inflammation was in the right half of the colon, in 7 -- in sigmoid colon
OBJECTIVE
To describe the sonographic appearance of ureteric obstruction due to necrosed papillae.
METHODS
In this study, carried out over 3 years 6 months, patients with diabetes mellitus who had renal colic were studied by sonography.
RESULTS
In 15 patients with hydronephrosis, there was a soft
Several conditions can clinically mimic renal colic. We assessed the accuracy of non-contrast-enhanced helical CT and of ultrasonography (US) in offering an alternative explanation for flank pain. In a 3-year period, 181 patients with acute flank pain underwent US and non-contrast-enhanced helical
Radiocontrast agents and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used for the diagnosis and treatment of renal colic. We studied their impact during unilateral acute urinary outflow obstruction upon renal microcirculation and parenchymal integrity. Laser-Doppler and ultrasonic
Using an autopsy case of a 59-year-old man with analgesic nephropathy, papillary necrosis, and nephrolithiasis, it is shown that analgesic nephropathy may be complicated by damage resulting from intrarenal urine reflux. The morphologic alterations characteristic of intrarenal and/or
Analgesic nephropathy is a unique drug-induced kidney disease characterized pathologically by renal papillary necrosis and chronic interstitial nephritis, and is the result of excessive consumption of combination antipyretic analgesics. The clinical features of the disorder relate mainly to the
