urethral stricture/クレアチニン

OBJECTIVE To determine the early success rates of the various methods of treating urethral strictures. METHODS A one year prospective, hospital-based study with three months' follow up after treatment. METHODS The urology unit of the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC), a tertiary 500 bed

We report on three patients with postrenal acute kidney injury (AKI) showing a remarkably low level of cystatin C (CysC) compared with that of creatinine (Cr). The levels of Cr and CysC (Cr/CysC) were respectively as follows: 12.16 mg/dl/1.26 mg/l, 17.92 mg/dl/0.95 mg/l and 18.94 mg/dl/0.55 mg/l.

BACKGROUND Iatrogenic urethral stricture after renal transplantation is mostly seen after urethral manipulations. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the safe continuity of the graft functions. In this study, the effect of urethral strictures on graft functions during the

A previously normotensive 24-year-old black man developed malignant hypertension and azotemia. The patient was found to have bladder outlet obstruction due to urethral stricture. Transurethral dilation resulted in brisk improvement in renal function and rapid lowering of blood pressure in

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence and causes of urethral stricture after kidney transplantation, as well as analyze its diagnosis, treatment and prevention. METHODS Clinical data of patients who developed urethral stricture after living-donor kidney transplantation in our center between January

Non-traumatic, spontaneous urinary bladder rupture is a rare complication of urethral stricture. Furthermore, its symptoms are often nonspecific, and misdiagnosis is common. The authors experienced a case of urethral stricture with spontaneous bladder rupture and bilateral hydronephrosis, mimicking

This study analyzed the long-term outcomes of localized prostate cancer in renal transplant recipients after radiotherapy treatment - mainly brachytherapy. We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of renal transplant recipients between 2003 and 2016 at a single tertiary center, and identified four

Clinical studies were made of 60 patients who had undergone ureterosigmoidostomy at our department. The 45 men and 15 women ranged from 35 to 73 years old, with a mean of 59.2 years. Ureterosigmoidanastomosis was performed using the modified Coffey II technique in this series. Bladder tumor was the

Millions of people worldwide take tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or hepatitis B infection. Although generally safe and well tolerated, clinicians need to be aware that TDF can cause proximal renal tubular dysfunction and loss of bone

OBJECTIVE To identify predictors of thirty-day perioperative complications after urethroplasty and create a model to predict patients at increased risk. METHODS We selected all patients recorded in the National Surgery Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) from 2005 to 2015 who underwent

Neobladder using a detubularized intestinal segment was constructed in 74 cystectomized patients between October 1986 and July 1994. There were 65 males (87.8%) and 9 females (12.2%) with an average age of 63 years (range 36 to 77 years). The mean follow-up period was 35 months (range 7 to 85).

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of cardiovascular, metabolic and smoking related risk factors on recurrence in patients with buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty (BMGU) for anterior urethral strictures.
