MEDICAL MEMORANDA Bilateral Renal Carcinoma associated with Polycystic Kidneys
Creutzfeldt disease and of hepatic coma is probably also due to a compensating action in the presence of a disordered dopaminergic system. Taken together, these findings suggest that triphasic waves occurring repetitively and regularly in an E.E.G. are caused by a disturbance of the dopaminergic system. The question arises whether the hyperkinesia and the coma are caused by disorders of two sep...
متن کاملErythropoietin in polycystic kidneys.
Erythropoietin (EPO) formation in kidneys of 18 patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) was investigated. In 12 patients on hemodialysis and in 6 patients with preterminal renal failure serum, EPO was 29 +/- 7 and 16 +/- 1.5 mU/ml and hemoglobin concentrations were 11.0 +/- 0.6 and 12.7 +/- 1.2 g/dl, respectively. Cyst fluid from a total of 357 renal cysts was obtaine...
متن کاملGene profiling of polycystic kidneys.
BACKGROUND While the genetic basis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has been clearly established, the pathogenesis of renal failure in ADPKD remains elusive. Cyst formation originates from proliferating renal tubular epithelial cells that de-differentiate. Fluid secretion with cyst expansion and reactive changes in the extracellular matrix composition combined with increa...
متن کاملHuge bilateral polycystic kidneys with suspicion of malignancy, recurrent bleeding in cysts, and acute abdomen
UNLABELLED We present a case of huge bilateral polycystic kidneys, with suspicion of malignancy and repeated admissions with acute abdomen, secondary to bleeding in cysts, and anaemia, requiring affected side nephrectomy. KEY MESSAGE Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) mostly ends up with end stage renal disease (ESRD), requiring haemodialysis, with increased risk of malignan...
متن کاملBilateral nephrectomy of huge polycystic kidneys associated with a rectus abdominis diastasis and umbilical hernia.
BACKGROUND Patients with end-stage renal failure due to huge autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease usually have an umbilical hernia and rectus abdominis diastasis, which are very troublesome. Pretransplant bilateral nephrectomy techniques does not manage the umbilical hernia and rectus abdominis diastasis. We report our experience in performing bilateral nephrectomy and repairing the rec...
