ureteral neoplasms/creatinine

When ureteral length is extensively compromised, preservation of the kidney without recurring to external urinary diversion may be attempted by various techniques. The choice depends on the extension and localization of the defect. We report a technique solution performed in a patient with multiple

A 68-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of severe oliguria and macrohematuria. She was diagnosed as postrenal acute renal failure, because of bilateral dilatation of the renal pelvis on abdominal computed tomography (CT). Percutaneous nephrostomy was performed after hemodialysis was

OBJECTIVE Diethylenetriamine penta acetic acid (99mTc-DTPA), a substance which indicates glomerular filtration, is distributed equally in blood and tissue after a bolus intravenously injection. Ambulatory Renal Monitor (ARM) is a portable and non invasive device which monitors extracorporeally the

We compared the role of noncontrast computerized tomography (NCCT), magnetic resonance urography (MRU), and combined abdominal radiography (KUB) and ultrasonography (US) in the diagnosis of the cause of ureteral obstruction in patients with compromised renal function. METHODS The study included 149

OBJECTIVE To analyze the safety and clinical outcome of laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNUT) for native upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UC) in renal transplant (RT) recipients. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 956 RT recipients from January 2003 to December 2010 to evaluate the

BACKGROUND Previous studies of the safety of renal autotransplantation (RAT) have been limited by a lack of evidence. Because of the influence of the opposite kidney, it is difficult to evaluate actual renal function. This study evaluated the actual results of RAT by collecting only cases involving

To assess the value of endothelin-1 (ET-1) as a parameter of renal functional overload and the process of hyperfiltration, urinary excretion of ET-1-like immunoreactivity (U-ET-1) and urinary excretion of other parameters [beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-MG), N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG),

BACKGROUND Although Carbohydrate antigen19-9 (CA19-9) is known to be high of its positive rate in blood in pancreatic cancer, etc., recently there have been scattered of cases of urothelial carcinoma in which elevated CA19-9 levels have been detected in both serum and urine. In this study we

The urinary CYFRA 21-1 value corrected for urinary creatinine (ng/ml/creatinine), was studied in the urine of patients with urothelial tumors. To examine its clinical significance we studied urinary CYFRA 21-1 excretion (ng/ml/creatinine), in a total of 22 urine samples from patients with bladder

UNASSIGNED Endemic nephropathy (EN) is a chronic tubulointerstitial renal disease associated with increased incidence of upper urinary tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) occurring predominantly in geographically limited areas in villages along big Danube river. Based on results obtained by the research

To identify the preoperative prognostic factors of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and construct preoperative risk stratification system. A retrospective study including 686 patients who were diagnosed with UTUC and received radical nephroureterectomy or partial ureterectomy in Peking

We report on a 67-year-old man with bilateral, synchronous, ureteral transitional cell carcinoma. He presented with bilateral flank pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting and oliguria. Bilateral hydronephrosis with upper ureteral filling defects was found on antegrade pyelogram. After urinary

A 76-year-old man received intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) instillations for recurrent superficial bladder cancer. He had undergone right nephroureterectomy for right renal pelvic cancer 9 months previously. He presented with anuria and left hydronephrosis after the fourth instillation,

A 58-year-old man underwent kidney transplantation on November 14, 2002 for end-stage kidney disease after Chinese herb nephropathy. Immunosuppressive therapy was maintained with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and methylpredonisolone. He was diagnosed with right ureteral cancer and underwent

A 67-year-old man, who had undergone left nephroureterectomy for ureteral tumor (transitional cell carcinoma, G1) eight years previously, was found to have two renal tumors in the residual right kidney by the follow-up computed tomography (CT). We performed non-ischemic enucleation for multiple
