Few studies have examined the relationship between retinal microvascular abnormalities and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aims to examine the association between retinal vessel diameters and CKD in the rural China in order to provide the scientific basis for the early detection and diagnosis for CKD.Participants and data were extracted from the Handan Eye Study, a population-based cro...

Background Ultrasonography is a non-invasive and accurate diagnostic method to evaluate urinary system and its anomalies in the neonates. Kidney sonographic measurement can be used as an alternative method to estimate gestational age. The aim of this study was to measure kidney size in preterm neonates and to provide a guide reference for gestational age. <...

Several organs, including the lungs and kidneys, are formed by epithelial tubes whose proper morphogenesis ensures correct function. This is best exemplified by the kidney, where defective establishment or maintenance of tubular diameter results in polycystic kidney disease, a common genetic disorder. Most polycystic kidney disease cases result from loss-of-function mutations in the PKD1 gene, ...

Harmine is a harmal-derived alkaloid with antioxidant properties. The morphine produces free radicals and plays a key role in the pathogenesis of kidney disease. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of harmine against morphine- induced damage to the kidneys of rats. In this study, 64 male rats were randomly assigned to 8 groups: saline and morphine treated groups; harmine groups (5, ...

background: cadmium is one of the most toxic heavy metals in our environment having a very strong ability to accumulate in body organs, especially in kidney. the present study was done to determine the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity in kidneys of rats exposed to cadmium. methods: male rats (n=30), kept in standard conditions were used in this study. the animals were randomly divided into 2 group...

From march 2016 to march 2017, a total of 61 patients with localized renal cell carcinoma were analysed, 38 tumors were located in left kidney, and 23 in the right kidney, the diameter of renal tumor was 3.4-7.5 cm, with the mean diameter was 5.6 cm, we complement bloodless and the anatomical operation by exposing and separating relatively bloodless planes such as anterior pararenal space, pre-...

INTRODUCTION We report an instructive case of incidental renal cell carcinoma in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease who underwent simultaneous bilateral native nephrectomy and living donor renal transplantation. CASE PRESENTATION A 57-year-old Asian man with end-stage kidney disease due to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease received a living kidney graft fro...

uring the dissection of a 38-year-old female cadaver, an ovarian artery originating from an accessory renal artery is exposed on the right side (Figure 1). The proximal one of the 2 arteries supplying the kidney was emerging from the abdominal aorta at L2 vertebra level and 12.6mm below the celiac trunk. The diameter of this artery was 5.5mm and was passing behind the inferior vena cava. Then, ...
