Experience with 5 such cases is presented and the special problems arising from the nature and extent o f the lesion are discussed. In bilateral cases, attempts should be made to preserve as much renal tissue as possible. Non-functioning kidneys in 3 cases were not removed and a degree of function was restored following the relief of obstruction by also connecting these kidneys t o the ileal loop.

The negative prediction of intrinsic versus transient acute kidney injury (AKI) in septic patients may be facilitated by combined assessment of fractional excretion of sodium and urea. If both excretions are high this would signal the presence of transient AKI and suggest that successful restoration of diuresis by conservative therapy is likely, thus supporting a wait-and-watch approach regardi...
