The obstructed kidney
نویسندگان
چکیده
Urinary obstruction is a common cause of acute and chronic renal failure. The symptoms and signs of an obstructed kidney may vary from asymptomatic to severe acute pain. The diagnosis and management of a hydronephrotic kidney is not very difficult with ultrasonography, IVU, and diuretic renography. The approach to manage such patients has been rationalized after the advent of diuretic renography. The obstructed kidney should be decompressed as early as possible because of progressive loss of renal function with prolonged obstruction. Nephrectomy may be required for a non-functioning kidney. Further advancements are being made as the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of the obstructed kidney become known to us.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare anomaly with a reported incidence of 1 in 16,000 populations. It may be associated with herniation of stomach, intestinal loops, spleen, and kidney through a chest wall defect. We report a case of a 1 year old male child who presented with recurrent fever, occasional chills and rigor of 4 months duration. Left kidney was non visualised on ultrasou...

PURPOSE We investigate the use of non-contrast helical computerized tomography (NCHCT) in the measurement of differential renal parenchymal volume as a surrogate for differential creatinine clearance (CrCl) for unilateral chronically obstructed kidney. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with unilateral chronically obstructed kidneys with normal contralateral kidneys were enrolled. Ultrasonography...

Background: Ureteral obstruction, leading to urinary stasis and elevated pressure in the proximal part of urinary tract, causes progressive renal dysfunction. This study was designed to evaluate the status of oxidative stress and metabolic defect in acute unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO).Methods: Experiments were performed on three groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=10 in each group). I...
متن کاملOxygen tension correlates with regional blood flow in obstructed rat kidney.
As renal tissue oxygen tension (P(O(2))) is determined by the balance between oxygen supply and consumption, direct tissue P(O(2)) measurements are essential when evaluating the presence of hypoxia. The present study aimed at evaluating invasively and continuously the renal medullary and cortical tissue P(O(2)) by novel fibre-optic probes in rats subjected to acute unilateral ureteral obstructi...

Background: Ureteral obstruction has been shown to induce renal oxidative stress, suppressed energy metabolism and defected acid excretion. This study was aimed to examine the improving effects of L-carnitine, a facilitating cofactor for mitochondrial oxidation of fatty-acids as well as a scavenger of free-radicals, and -tocopherol as the most potent antioxidant on these renal disorders at ear...
