Mannitol-induced diuretic renal ultrasonography: a new technique.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We herein describe a new technique to improve the ultrasonic imaging of nonobstructed stone-bearing kidneys. Mannitol-induced diuresis opens up the collapsed renal collecting system and yields better ultrasonographic imaging by increasing the amount of fluid surrounding the calculi. The potential usages of this technique include ultrasound localization for percutaneous stone extraction and during ultrasonographic monitoring of stones treated by extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL).

Evaluation of neonatal hydronephrosis with diuretic renography
The common use of maternal ultrasonography has increased the apparent incidence of neonatal hydronephrosis. Many of these cases are found to have partial obstruction at the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). These patients are safely managed in our institution with careful observation and only occasionally require surgical intervention. The authors present two contrastin...
متن کاملDiuretic effect on the measurement of differential renal function using 99mTc-DMSA in patients with hydronephrosis [Persian]
Introduction: It has been suggested that calculation of differential renal function (DRF) using 99mTc-DMSA may lead to overestimation of the function of an obstructed kidney. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of diuretic administration on the determination of DRF using 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy in patients with dilated pelvis. Methods: Thirty three patients, aged from 2 month...
متن کاملDifference in Results of Ultrasonography and Diuretic Renograms after Pyeloplasty in Children with Unilateral Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction
Purpose: Controversies persist on pyeloplasty follow-up, and the aim of this study was to assess the differences and interpretations in results of postoperative ultrasonography and diuretic renograms. Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of 46 patients who underwent pyeloplasty between 1997 and 2003. The average patient age was 7.0 months (range, 2-36 months). Serial changes in...
متن کاملMechanism of cellular swelling induced by extracellular lactic acidosis in neuroblastoma-glioma hybrid (NG108-15) cells.
The mechanism of cellular swelling induced by extra-cellular lactic acidosis and the effect of diuretics were studied using neuroblastoma-glioma hybrid (NG108-15) cells. The cells were incubated in one of three lactate concentrations (0, 15, or 30 mM), each of which was randomized to one of three pH groups (7.4, 6.2, or 5.0). Analysis of the swelling was measured using a Coulter counter techniq...
متن کاملMannitol increases renal blood flow and maintains filtration fraction and oxygenation in postoperative acute kidney injury: a prospective interventional study
INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury (AKI), which is a major complication after cardiovascular surgery, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Diuretic agents are frequently used to improve urine output and to facilitate fluid management in these patients. Mannitol, an osmotic diuretic, is used in the perioperative setting in the belief that it exerts reno-protective properties. In...
