Extra-Renal Wilms' Tumor: A Rare Diagnosis

The diagnosis of extra-renal Wilms' tumor is often missed at initial clinical presentation leading to a delay in initiating appropriate therapy. A 5-year-old girl presented with a 3-week history of a painless lump in the pelvis. Radiological investigations suggested an ovarian neoplasm. Tumor markers for ovarian malignancy were in normal range. Trucut biopsy also suggested the possibility of an...

Discovery of Renal Tuberculosis in a Partial Nephrectomy Specimen Done for Renal Tumor

The association of renal cancer and renal tuberculosis is uncommon. While the incidental discovery of renal cell carcinoma in a tuberculous kidney is a classical finding, the discovery of tuberculous lesions after nephrectomy for cancer is exceptional. We report the case of a female patient aged 60 who had a partial nephrectomy for a 5 cm exophytic kidney tumor. Pathological examination conclud...

Renal Histopathology , Urine Cytology , and Cytopathology of Acute Renal Failure

Causes of acute renal failure can be divided into three categories: 1) prerenal, due to inadequate perfusion; 2) postrenal, due to obstruction of outflow; and 3) intrinsic, due to injury to renal parenchyma. Among the latter, diseases of, or injury to, glomeruli, vessels, interstitium, or tubules may lead to a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Glomerular diseases that lead to acute ...

Effect of Lithium Carbonate on Renal and Extra-renal Functions of Rats

Effect of high doses of lithium carbonate (40 rag/Kg.i.p. and p.o.) and lithium chloride (40 mg/Kg.i.p.) on renal and extra-renal functions were studied in normal male Charles Foster Strain of rats. Insignificant effect on urine output, creatinine clerance, sodium, potassium and lithium excretion was observed with these salts. Antidiuretic hormone levels were also not effected. However lithium ...
