We report a case of right giant hydronephrosis. A 68-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with chief complaints of general fatigue, loss of appetite and a one-year history of progressive fullness on whole abdomen. Abdominal computed tomography scan exhibited a huge, homogeneous, low density
BACKGROUND
The most common cause of adult Giant Hydronephrosis (GH) is congenital Uretero-Pelvic Junction (UPJ) obstruction. Conventional imaging modalities, like Intravenous Urography (IVU) and Computed Tomography Urography (CTU) and radionuclide renal scan can be fallacious. Serum carbohydrate
OBJECTIVE
To investigate carbohydrate antigen (CA 19-9, CA 15-3, and CA 125) levels in the patients who had hydronephrosis with renal stones and in whom Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) was performed.
METHODS
This prospective study included 20 people with no known disease for control
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to find out the predictive role of serum and urinary carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels in benign hydronephrosis and whether these levels are helpful for differentiation of complete or partial urinary obstruction.
METHODS
Fifty-four patients with, and 23 without,
OBJECTIVE
High serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 in patients with hydronephrosis but without malignant disease is reportedly rare but to our knowledge the clinical features of hydronephrosis that affect this level have not yet been clarified. We examined the correlation of serum carbohydrate antigen
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to investigate that the association between serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) levels and unilateral hydronephrosis due to urinary lithiasis in homogeneous groups who had no urinary tract infection and renal impairment.
METHODS
A total of 50 patients with ureteral stone
BACKGROUND
Carbohydrate tumor-associated antigen (CA 19-9) has been shown to be upregulated in other malignant tumors including gastric, ovarian, hepatocellular, and colorectal carcinoma as well as benign diseases of the biliary track such as pancreatitis, cholangitis, and choledocholithiasis.
Fetal hydronephrosis (FH) is the most common fetal renal pathology encountered in the daily obstetric practice. Urinary and serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) levels are higher in obstructive renal pathologies. Our aim was to assess the maternal urinary and serum CA 19-9 levels
BACKGROUND
Serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 has been clinically applied as a valuable tumor marker for pancreatic and gastrointestinal carcinoma. CA 19-9 is expressed in normal excretory epithelium tissues. Increased CA 19-9 has also been observed in uroepithelial tumors as well as in
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate maternal urinary CA19-9 as a potential marker to diagnose severe antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH) during pregnancy and to compare the values with those in normal pregnancies as controls.
METHODS
A total of 20 women in their third pregnancy trimester were enrolled. An
To evaluate the predictive role of maternal urinary CA 19-9 as a non-invasive marker for diagnosing antenatal posterior urethral valve (PUV).A total of 40 women in the third pregnancy trimester were enrolled. Case group (group A) consisted of 20 women with
A case of hydronephrosis caused by renal stones with elevated serum levels of carbohydrate antigens 19-9 (CA-19-9) and 125 (CA-125) is reported. A 74-year-old woman was hospitalized with pyelonephritis. The results of computerized tomography and endoscopy suggested that the patient did not have
