INTRODUCTION Renal parenchymal involvement is common in systemic lymphomas. In almost all cases, renal involvement appears to be a secondary process, either by direct extension from a retroperitoneal mass or via haematogenous spread in the setting of disseminated disease. Secondary renal involvement in systemic lymphomas is generally presented as multiple masses, but also as a solitary nodule. ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term outcome of children with urinary tract infection (UTI). DESIGN Follow-up examination 6 to 17 years after childhood UTI. SETTING Secondary to tertiary referral center. PATIENTS From an original population-based cohort of 1185 children with a history of UTI on whom both ultrasonography (US) and voiding cystourethrography had been performed between January...

Aim of the Work: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of endovascular techniques in the management of gross hematuria caused by iatrogenic renal vascular injury. Specifically, we aimed to assess different embolic agents, different methods of embolization and their impact on the renal parenchymal loss and renal function. Patients and Methods: This is a single institutional study carried out ...

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate iatrogenic renal arterial lesions, including pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, and arteriocaliceal fistula, their management by endovascular embolization, and the clinical results. METHODS Fifty-five patients (forty males, fifteen females) with a median age of 40 years (range, 8-85 years), who underwent endovascular embolization of iatrogenic renal arterial l...

Background: Screening for patients at risk of renal scarring is a challenge in children with acute pyelonephritis (APN). Diuretic Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) scintigraphy with zero time injection of furosemide (MAG3-F0) was observed to display focal parenchymal disorders. The advantages of MAG3 include: lower radiation dose and short duration of the test. The aim of this study was to...

OBJECTIVES. To evaluate the role of primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in increasing the frequency and severity of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and renal parenchymal damage among patients with acute pyelonephritis and to determine whether urinary antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the frequency and/or severity of UTIs and/or prevents renal parenchymal damage among patients with mild/moderate VU...
