background and aims: p504s (amacr) is a mitochondrial enzyme expressed in renal cell carcinoma. some of immunohistochemical markers in renal cell tumors are independent prognostic factor and show relation with histologic grading. amacr expression increases with higher histological grading in different tumors; however, in rcc it is not obvious. in this study, we tried to investigate if any relat...

Differential renal function assessment using 99mTc-DTPA was carried out in 12 children aged between 3 weeks and 11 years who had undergone surgical procedures which allowed separate access to the urine output from each kidney. The results correlated well with those obtained by measuring individual kidney creatinine clearances. The best result was obtained using the technique of deconvolution an...

Although clinical presentation of fibrillary glomerulonephritis is similar to most forms of glomerulonephritis, it is usually difficult to make the diagnosis. Clinical manifestations include proteinuria, microscopic haematuria, nephrotic syndrome, and impairment of renal function. A diagnosis of fibrillary glomerulonephritis is only confirmed by renal biopsy and it must comprise electronmicrosc...

Sarcoidosis can affect all organs and may mimic a variety of other diseases. In the absence of typical pulmonary features, extrapulmonary manifestations may be difficult to diagnose. We describe here the very uncommon case of a patient with mild pulmonal involvement but distinct renal, bone marrow and lymph node sarcoidosis. Treatment with glucocorticoids significantly improved kidney function ...

 ABSTRACT COVID-19 mainly affects respiratory and immune systems, but other organs like renal, cardiovascular, lung and nervous systems could also be involved in both acute and chronic settings (1, 2). There is a lot of studies that demonstrate an increasing number of long COVID-19 who continue to experience persistent symptoms weeks or even months after the initial disease. Reports suggest...

Traditional renal puncture surgery requires manual operation, which has a poor effect, low surgical success rate, and high incidence of postoperative complications. Robot-assisted can effectively improve the accuracy punctures, rate surgery, reduce occurrence This paper provides dual-armed robotic scheme to assist surgeons. The system is divided into an ultrasound scanning arm arm. Both arms wi...
