Renal Function Test in the Newborn

چکیده
Kathel, B. L. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 314. Radioisotope renography as a renal function test in the newborn. Isotope renography has been carried out in 32 babies with neurogenic bladder due to spina bifida or with other urological lesions. The tracings can be interpreted according to the standards applicable to renography in older children. Comparison of renography and intravenous urography showed a close correlation between the two tests, but renography proved to be more sensitive and informative. As renography is easily performed and since the radiation dosage is very small, it is of value in those patients where frequent assessment of the function and emptying capability of each individual kidney is required.

متن کاملEffect of aminophylline on renal function of brain injury patients with acute renal failure admitted to the intensive care unit
Introdution: Acute renal failure is a common complication in the brain injury patients. Released adenosine in injury can reduce renal glomerular filtration. Aminophylline is an inhibitor of releasing adenosine. So, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of intravenous aminophylline in renal function of brain-injured patients with acute renal failure admitted to the intensive care unit. Method...

Glomerular development of the kidney was studied in newborn rats by electron microscopy. Four different stages of glomerular development were defined: vesicle fonnation, S-shaped body stage, capillary loop fonnation, and glomerular maturation. In the fust stage, the mesenchymal cells form a spheroid mass. This is followed by the S-shaped body stage in which clefts appear in the mass. Afte...
