The author presents a case of a 36-year old pregnant woman in 31st week of pregnancy, in whom in the course of renal calculosis complicated by urinary tract infection there appeared pulmonary oedema. Immediate termination of the pregnancy by Cesarean section and applying suitable pharmacological
Gallbladder disease in children today is being diagnosed increasingly because of better awareness of its existence and of improved diagnostic capability. A case is presented to describe an unusual pathologic variant termed "acute hydrops" of the gallbladder. This entity occurs specifically in
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether the extent of perinephric edema on helical computed tomographic (CT) images without contrast material enhancement can be used to predict the degree of ureteral obstruction in patients with acute ureterolithiasis.
METHODS
Nonenhanced helical CT and excretory urographic
Light and electron microscopic examinations of biopsies of the renal cortex were carried out in 24 patients with chronic pyelonephritis and 12 patients with hydronephrosis, as well as of the medullar substance in 7 of these patients after nephrectomy. A detailed analysis of the processes of granule
The total area and the proportion of lumen, epithelium, submucosa and muscularis as well as connective tissue, musculature, and edema were determined by histologic and morphometric evaluation in cross sections of 30 segments of undilatated proximal ureter. The conditions in 8 reflux ureters from
Acute gestational pyelonephritis infrequently leads to nonhydrostatic permeability pulmonary edema known clinically as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In this form of ARDS, sepsis is considered the primary cause of pulmonary dysfunction. Decreases in colloid osmotic pressure, plasma
The first documented case of adult respiratory distress syndrome complicating acute pyelonephritis in pregnancy from the authors' institution is reported. The probable multiple causes for the development of pulmonary edema in this clinical setting are discussed, as well as the pitfalls in the
The computed tomographic appearance of hepatic perivascular halos has been described in a variety of disorders. We observed three cases with sepsis due to acute pyelonephritis who presented with anasarca and had identical computed tomographic features of periportal edema associated with ascites,
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current role of the Ultrasound associated with the color-Doppler in the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis (APN) and to compare ultrasound images with CT images in order to reduce the amount radiation absorbe without significant loss of
We studied urodynamics of the upper urinary tract in a different course of renal inflammation with consideration of the drainage method. Pressure in the renal pelvis was measured in 64 patients with acute obstructive and non-obstructive, and chronic pyelonephritis in different time of establishment
Invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) infections are rare in developed countries but their incidence is increasing. One of the most severe complications of extraintestinal NTS infection is mycotic aneurysm. Its natural course is usually fatal and its treatment demands complex interdisciplinary
Analyzing correlation of the results of excretory urography and histological findings (kidney biopsy) in 2852 nephrological patients the author has come to a conclusion that changes in the structure of the pelvicaliceal system (PCS) which are usually regarded as x-ray signs of primary chronic
Experimental infiltration of the intravesical ureter of the normal bladder in the living, anesthetized animal with magnesium sulfate or physiological salt solution caused a reflux of urine into the ureter in 6 out of 18 guinea pigs (33 per cent); in 22 out of 27 rabbits (81 per cent), and in 14 out
OBJECTIVE
Pyelonephritis is a common cause of antepartum admission and maternal morbidity. Medical complications associated with pyelonephritis during delivery are not well described; thus the objective of this study was to estimate medical, infectious, and obstetric complications associated with
The aim of this study is to report the extrarenal computerized tomography (CT) findings in patients with acute pyelonephritis (APN). Twenty-one CT examinations of 20 patients [19 women and one man, with ages ranging from 18 to 57 years (mean -35.2 years)], presenting either with a clinical diagnosis
