ArchivesofDisease in Childhood: Shortreports Ureteric sludge syndrome
نویسنده
چکیده
Four cases of a form of obstructive uropathy previously unreported in children are described. All presented with oligoanuria and either flank pain or fluid retention and had evidence of crystalline sludge in their lower ureters. Three cases had an underlying crystalluria. Currently children who present with oligoanuria after acute dehydrating or diarrhoeal illnesses are invariably assumed to have either prerenal azotaemia, acute tubular necrosis, haemolytic uraemic syndrome, or obstruction to drainage from a single kidney as might occur with calculus or ureterocoele. We present four cases of a form of obstructive uropathy, which may commonly be overlooked or misdiagnosed as one of the above conditions.

متن کاملFunctional Stenosis as a Cause of Pelvi-ureteric Obstruction and Hydronephrosis.
The operative findings in cases of hydronephrosis often do not suggest any obvious cause of obstruction, and as Innes Williams (1958) has recently emphasized the pathology of hydronephrosis cannot be discussed solely in terms of anatomy. When by pyelography the diagnosis of hydronephrosis in a child has been established, the cause of the hydronephrosis can be one out of many. From the surgical ...
