A 64-year-old man reported left-sided renal colics recurring regularly every 5-10 months for the past 25 years. After a typical colic urinary sediment was found to contain brownish, flaky elastic material which histologically consisted of nucleus-free keratoid lamellae. Calcium concentration in
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the accuracy of reduced-dose abdominal computed tomographic (CT) imaging by using a new generation model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) to diagnose acute renal colic compared with a standard-dose abdominal CT with 50% adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction
It is usually assumed as a result of experiments that post-obstructive and hydronephrotic atrophy are due to raised intrapelvic pressure. In acute ureteric obstruction raised intrapelvic pressure is associated with renal colic; the absence of pain in chronic obstruction has been a stumbling block to
A review of 22,971 pregnancies from 1969-74 reveals that the reasons for requesting excretory urography were renal colic of pregnancy 11, pyelonephritis 8, renal contusion 2, threatened abortion 1, and suspected degeneration of fibroid 1. The final diagnoses were similar except that two patients
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of ureter stones with expectant management and the clinical factors associated with stone passage in Koreans.
METHODS
We reviewed the charts of patients who visited the emergency room or urological office of our institution with acute renal
Renacidin is a urinary stone dissolving agent composed primarily of gluconic and citric acids and their magnesium salts, buffered to a pH of 4. We describe its use in a child with oxalosis, disabling renal colic and deteriorating renal function in whom its use was associated with hypermagnesemia and
OBJECTIVE
To report the clinical case of a male with acute onset right flank pain and significant deterioration of his general status.
METHODS
40-year-old male patient with acute onset of flank pain, progressive worsening, and fever up to 40 degrees C. Blood analysis (hemogram, coagulation tests,
To assess the effectiveness of reduced-radiation-dose computed tomography (CT) protocols in the tracing of the ureter in patients with suspected renal colic.
The study was approved by our institutional review board, and informed consent was obtained from the participants. From July 2012 to April
OBJECTIVE
The incidence of pediatric urolithiasis has increased over the last century because of dietary changes, metabolic abnormalities, climate change, and genitourinary abnormalities. Data on pediatric urolithiasis in non-endemic countries are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
Sixty-eight patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism were studied for a mean period of 4.5 years (median 3.3). Seven of these patients presented with renal colic while the rest had no symptoms. There was no significant deterioration in mean serum creatinine, total calcium or ionized calcium
BACKGROUND
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a life-threatening urological emergency. A high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis as such patients may present to physicians with typical features of pyelonephritis.
METHODS
A 67 year old lady presented atypically to the Emergency
Endometriosis frequently affects women with genital activity and exceptionally involves the urinary tract, and the ureter in particular. From a case report of a female consulting for renal colic pain related to an intrinsic-type pelvic ureteral endometriosis, we report the difficulty in diagnosing
OBJECTIVE
Renal infarction is rare and has variable clinical presentations causing diagnostic difficulties. Although most renal infarctions are caused by an obvious thromboembolic factor some are only explained by hereditary or acquired thrombophilia. The authors present a case of segmental renal
OBJECTIVE
Ranitidine is a generally well-tolerated drug, and serious side effects are rare. However, ranitidine-induced anaphylaxis has been reported on rare occasions. We report on such a case and review other cases reported in the literature.
METHODS
A 36-year-old man with no history of other
BACKGROUND
Ureteral colic has a lifetime prevalence of 10%-15% and is one of the most common emergency urologic presentations. Current European Association of Urology recommends conservative management for "small" (<6 mm) ureteral stones if active removal is not indicated. It is important to
