OBJECTIVE
We compared ureteral anastomosis using a laser and intraluminal albumin stent with both conventional suturing and laser soldering techniques.
METHODS
Twelve pigs underwent bilateral ureteral anastomoses (N = 24) using one of the three anastomotic methods: (1) laser welding with
The retinol-binding protein (RBP), N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, (NAG) albumin (alb) and IgG in urine were measured from 67 patients with urinary stone before and after ESWL. The results showed that the amount of alb, IgG and RBP in urine was obviously increased for the patients with renal, upper
Objective: Nowadays, the algorithms for the study of hydronephrosis in children include voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) and diuretic renogram (DR) in all patients. Both are invasive, distressing, and associated with radiation risk.
Diagnostic value of urinary retinol binding protein (RBP), albumin (ALB) and aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in neonatal hydronephrosis and their relationship with the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) in the prenatal maternal peripheral blood was investigated. Forty-six child patients
Expression levels of retinol-binding protein (RBP) and albumin (Alb) in the kidney of patients with neonatal hydronephrosis were detected to explore whether RBP and Alb can be used as diagnostic indicators for neonatal hydronephrosis. Blood and urine samples from neonates with hydronephrosis in the
BACKGROUND
Diabetes is considered a risk factor for acquisition of febrile urinary tract infection (f-UTI), but information on the association of diabetes with subsequent course of the disease is lacking. Thus, we investigated the clinical variables including diabetic status which determined the
To obtain more information about the natural history of compensatory renal hypertrophy beginning in childhood we traced those who were nephrectomized in childhood for Wilm's tumor (W) and hydronephrosis (Hn) between 1950 and 1978 at one department of surgery in Stockholm. All W patients had received
In 29 children with unilateral hydronephrosis who underwent surgery at the age from 2 months to 15 years (27 patients with ureteropelvic junction stenosis and 2 with obstructive megaureter), beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-MG), alpha 1-microglobulin (alpha 1-MG), N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG)
OBJECTIVE
In previous studies, we established an animal model of human congenital hydronephrosis with exposure of developing mice to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), but the etiopathogenesis is not entirely clear. The present study was to identify the changes that may be involved in the
Staphylococcus aureus is a relatively uncommon causative agent of urinary tract infection (UTI). However, the clinical features of S. aureus-related UTI are unclear. Thus, we aimed to clarify how patients with S. aureus bacteriuria develop UTI and determine the features and clinical OBJECTIVE
The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was established in 1994 to measure and enhance of the quality of surgical care. Since its inception, 30-day postoperative morbidity after major surgery in the Veterans Administration has decreased by 45%. We performed a pilot study to
To study risk factors for sepsis and mortality evaluating the role of platelet to leucocytic count ratio (PLR) as a marker for urosepsis and clinical outcomes in cases of emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN).Patients with EPN were retrospectively reviewed. To investigate the role of albuminuria as a clinical marker of early renal disease in children with neurogenic bladder (NGB) in association with commonly used predictors of renal risk.Catheterized urine was obtained from 40 patients with NGB at a tertiary This study investigated the temporal relationship between cardiomyopathy and renal pathology in the type II diabetic Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat. We hypothesized that changes in renal function will precede the development of cardiac dysfunction in the ZDF rat. Animals (10 weeks old) were divided
Objectives. To develop a prognostic-factors-based predictive model for invasive urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder derived from statistical comparison of clinical characteristics.Methods. The medical records for patients with invasive urinary bladder urothelial carcinoma were reviewed.
