Laparoscopic Kidney Denervation for Refractory Loin Pain: Can We Predict Outcomes?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 19-year-old female patient presented refractory disabling loin pain associated with mild kidney atrophy (split renal function of 33%). Investigation revealed elevated serum renin level; a therapeutic test with oral renin inhibitor was tried, obtaining important pain control. Aiming to resolve the symptom while preserving the patient kidney and attributing the pain mechanism to be associated with the abnormal renin production, a laparoscopic kidney denervation was performed with no complications and complete pain resolution.

Catheter-based renal denervation as a novel treatment for loin pain haematuria syndrome.
Renal denervation using a catheter delivering radiofrequency energy to the renal artery vessel wall has recently emerged as a promising new treatment for difficult-to-treat hypertension. The beneficial effect of this intervention, attributable to sympathetic nerves interruption, has been coherently demonstrated in both an observational study [1, 2] and a controlled trial [3, 4]. Of note, accord...

PURPOSE Chronic pain is a prominent feature of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease that is difficult to treat and manage, often resulting in a decrease in quality of life. Understanding the underlying anatomy of renal innervation and the various etiologies of pain that occur in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease can help guide proper treatments to manage pain. Reviewing previ...

Objective: Laparoscopic nephropexy has been reported as a minimally invasive approach for symptomatic nephroptosis. We performed five cases of laparoscopic nephropexy using a self-made polytetrafluoroethy-lene “basket” to fix the inferior parts of kidneys to 12th rib. Methods: All patients (4 women and 1 man) had symptomatic nephroptosis presenting with flank pain, repeat hematuresis or hydrone...
