Vesico-ureteric reflux and reflux nephropathy.

Diagnosis of Vesicoureteric Reflux and Reflux Nephropathy

FIGURE 8-12 International system of radiographic grading of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). The severity of VUR is most frequently classified according to the International Grading System of Vesicoureteral Reflux, using a standardized technique for performance of voiding cystourethrography. The definitions of this system are illustrated in Figure 8-4 and are as follows. In grade I, reflux only int...

Reflux and Obstructive Nephropathy

Reflux nephropathy, or renal parenchymal scarring associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), is an important cause of renal failure. Some studies have shown that in up to 10% of adults and 30% of children requiring renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease, reflux nephropathy is the cause of the renal failure. Reflux nephropathy is thought to result from the combination of VUR of ...

Erratum to "Construction of asymmetric multivariate copulas" [J. Multivariate Anal. 99(2008) 2234-2250]

Assume that C1, . . . , Ck : [0, 1]d → [0, 1] are copulas. Let gji : [0, 1] → [0, 1] for j = 1, . . . , k, i = 1, . . . , d be functions with the property that each of them is strictly increasing or is identically equal to 1. Suppose that ∏k j=1 gji(v) = v for v ∈ [0, 1], i = 1, . . . , d, and limv→0+0 gij(v) = gji(0) for j = 1, . . . , k, i = 1, . . . , d. Here we consider the two-dimensional ...
