Acute Renal Failure after Bilateral Retrograde Pyelography — A Case of Early Diversion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute renal failure is a rare complication of retrograde pyelography. We demonstrate a patient who experienced acute renal failure induced by bilateral retrograde pyelography. The possible mechanisms, including renal and post-renal causes, are also discussed. Post-obstructive diuretic phase after early urinary diversion is an evidence of obstructive renal failure. Early urinary diversion also shortens the course of acute renal failure and reduces the requirement of hemodialysis which was experienced by cases reported previously.

Six patients with mitral stenosis complicated by renal artery embolism studied prospectively are presented. In five patients there was unilateral and in one patient bilateral renal artery involvement.

متن کاملA Case of Post-radiotherapy Urethral Stricture with Spontaneous Bladder Rupture, Mimicking Obstructive Uropathy due to Cancer Metastasis
Non-traumatic, spontaneous urinary bladder rupture is a rare complication of urethral stricture. Furthermore, its symptoms are often nonspecific, and misdiagnosis is common. The authors experienced a case of urethral stricture with spontaneous bladder rupture and bilateral hydronephrosis, mimicking obstructive uropathy attributed to cancer metastasis. A 55-year-old woman was admitted with abdom...

AbstractThe prevalence of bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is less than 5% and the etiology of most cases is unknown. Due to many structural and functional similarities between the kidney and inner ear, many conditions, diseases, and drugs have both renal and cochlear effects and toxicities. There are several reports of SSNHL in patients with CRF, uraemic patient, hemodialysi...

متن کاملEffect of Endothelin-A Receptor Blockade on the Early Phase of Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Acute Renal Failure in Anesthetized Rats
Background: Previous studies have shown increases in endothelin (ET) concentration of plasma and renal tissues in acute renal failure (ARF). ET has a potent vasoconstrictor effect, through binding with its ETA receptors, and may play some roles in renal hemodynamic dysfunction in ARF.Objective: To examine the beneficial effect of a selective ETA-receptor antagonist on renal dysfunction and tis...
