angle. Intravenous and retrograde pyelography showed a filling defect in the renal pelvis, and the isotope renogram suggested impaired renal function. A definitive diagnosis was only made after renal angiography. It is thought in this case that the carcinoma must have caused the haematuria previously investigated and probably at that stage caused radiological changes which were mistaken as bein...

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Preliminary data indicate that aspirin renography with hippurate may be more sensitive for detection RAS. In this study 20 patients with known or suspected RAS underwent aspirin renography (20 mg/kg orally 1 hour before injection of radiotracer) and captopril renography (50 mg orally) with 99mTc-DTPA. Renal an...

Material and methods: 125 patients (IDDM:10, NIDM:115), including 62 men, ages 18-84 years, were studied. In all cases GF (Cr 51 EDTA), ERPF (I-hippuran), kidney split function (obtained from the mTc-MAG3 renogram) and basal serum creatinine (SC) were evaluated at the beginning of the study and patients were clinically followed up for 5 years by SC. Ultrasound and/or intravenous digital angiogr...

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...

background : guillain-barre syndrome is an unusual complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation but it is extremely rare after solid organ transplantation such as kidney or liver transplantation case report : a 48-year-old man, a case of kidney transplantation presented with generalized weakness in an ascending pattern. history and examination were compatible with the diagnosis of gu...

Purpose: To define the relationship between renal parenchyma thickness (RPT) on computed tomography and renal function on nuclear renography in chronically obstructed renal units (ORUs) and to define a minimal thickness ratio associated with adequate function. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight consecutive patients undergoing both nuclear renography and CT during a six-month period between 200...
