A novel guanosine triphosphate-binding protein, chronic renal failure gene (CRFG), was discovered by differential display PCR to be regulated differentially in renal disease. Within the rat kidney, CRFG mRNA was localized to the outer medulla and was highly expressed in epithelial cells. The specific renal expression of CRFG mRNA in the outer medulla was reduced dramatically in several rat mode...

Torsion of the extraperitoneally transplanted kidney is rare complication with no clinical data in the literature. The authors present the case of a 44-year-old man with end-stage renal disease who received a kidney transplant from his father. On postoperative day 4, serum urea and creatinine levels increased and urine output decreased. Renal ultrasonography revealed the renal hilum to be rotat...

Introduction: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is associated with inadequate urine drainage from renal pelvis into ureter. UPJO results from incomplete recanalization of proximal ureter during fetal period which finally leads to hydrostatic distention of renal pelvis and calyces. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, ultrasound, and diuretic isotopic renogram. Various surgical metho...

in this article, we develop the distributed order fractional hybrid differential equations (dofhdes) with linear perturbations involving the fractional riemann-liouville derivative of order $0 < q < 1$ with respect to a nonnegative density function. furthermore, an existence theorem for the fractional hybrid differential equations of distributed order is proved under the mixed $varphi$-lipschit...

radionuclidic techniques may provide assessment of glomerular filtration rate (gfr) effective renal plasma flow (erpf) or individual renal function. several agents were available for determination of these parameters such as ¹³¹i-oih (o-iodohippurate) and different derivatives of dads (diamidodisulfur). oih has the disadvantage of imparting a relatively high absorbed radiation dose to the patie...

conclusions although our patient had ckd stage 4, but his condition has not deteriorated and remained constant and stable for several years only by control of blood pressure and usual treatment which prescribed for patients at this stage case presentation a 78-year-old man presented with stage 4 ckd for 7 years; the glomerular filtration rate (gfr) and creatinine levels remained constant despit...

background: measurement of absolute or differential renal function using radiotracers plays an important role in the clinical management of various renal diseases. gamma camera quantitative methods in approximation of renal clearance may potentially be as accurate as plasma clearance methods. however some critical factors such as kidney depth and background counts are still troublesome in the u...

This is presumably a play-by-play report of a scientific conference staged according to a peculiarly American pattern widely featured by the radio in its educational and informational programs. The sponsor, duly acknowledged by a spokesman, is in this case a philanthropic foundation. The symposium actually deals chiefly with the nature of ionic transfers across membranes in various organs of th...
