Sagliker Syndrome in a Patient with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Chronic Renal Insufficiency: A Case Report

Sagliker syndrome is a rare form of renal osteodystrophy resulted from untreated secondary hyperparathyroidism. It is described by severe skeletal deformities, high level of PTH in patients with chronic renal failure, and deformed face. This paper reports a 44-year-old male patient with the mentioned characteristics. In addition to the unique clinical features, high levels of ALP and PTH hormon...

Polymorphonuclear leukocyte oxidative burst is enhanced in patients with chronic renal insufficiency.

Previous reports that polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) function is impaired in hemodialysis patients do not differentiate between effects of dialysis and of uremia. The hypothesis that chronic renal insufficiency impairs PMN function was tested. Phagocytosis and oxidative burst were measured in PMN from patients with varying degrees of chronic renal insufficiency impairs PMN function was teste...

Comment on Cisplatin-Induced Renal Impairment

Assessment of the individual renal function in chronic unilateral renal obstruction using functional CT as compared to 99mTc-DTPA renal scan

Introduction: The selection of   optimal treatment of obstructive nephrouropathy requires information about the functional status of each kidney. Nuclear renal scanning objectively measure differential renal function, multiple studies have demonstrated the role of assessment of renal perfusion and GFR with triphasic CT. The aim of this study is to assess the role of CT based on renal parenchyma...
