Vascular Lesions Produced by Renal Cortical Extracts

Vascular lesions produced by renal cortical extracts of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).

Renal vascular lesions in IgA nephropathy

V lesions are of principal importance in the progression of various primary and secondary kidney diseases (1). In the majority of individuals with kidney diseases, vascular component, is involved secondarily in the disease process affecting primarily the glomeruli. Indeed, in IgAN as a common and progressive glomerulopathy, impaired kidney function, hypertension, proteinuria and interstitial fi...

Renal vascular lesions in systemic lupus erythematosus.

In the past, necrotizing vasculitis has been considered to be one of the dominant intrarenal vascular abnormalities in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To test the validity of this statement, 70 consecutive renal biopsies from patients with SLE were reviewed. Light microscopy (LM) and immunofluorescence (IF) studies documented abnormalities, including thrombosis and nephrosclerosis, in 30 pa...

Transarterial embolization of renal vascular lesions after percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

INTRODUCTION Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) represents a safe and efficient procedure in the surgical management of renal lithiasis. Nevertheless, surgeons have to face specific complications during and after the procedure, hemorrhage being one of the most common. In most cases the injuries are self-limited and do not need a surgical intervention. Renal arteriography with selective angiogr...

Renal Artery Embolization in Post Traumatic Vascular Lesions

Background: Renal vascular injuries mostly result from interventional urologic procedures such as percutaneous biopsy and nephrostomy. Serious hemorrhagic complications associated with percutaneous urologic procedures occur in 2.3-15% of the patients endangering patients' life. Conventional surgical treatment including partial and total nephrectomy carries great morbidity and results in remarka...
