Serum potassium and creatinine changes following unstented bilateral ureteral reimplantation in children.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE We assess the incidence of electrolyte and creatinine changes following unstented bilateral ureteral reimplantation and attempt to identify associated risk factors. METHODS A total of 107 consecutive children with bilateral vesicoureteral reflux underwent bilateral unstented ureteral

Acute renal failure after continuous flow irrigation in patients treated with potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser vaporization of prostate.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cases of acute renal failure after transurethral resection of the prostate have been reported since the late 1940s. The pathogenic mechanisms postulated were acute hemolysis, renal interstitial edema, ischemic tubular injury, and rhabdomyolysis, resulting from the absorption of irrigating fluid.

Urinary tract malformation and infection with hyperkalemia and decreased fractional excretion of potassium in an infant.

Only registered users can translate articles

We describe an uncircumcised male infant treated for urinary tract infection who exhibited multiple hormonal and electrolyte abnormalities consistent with a diagnosis of transient pseudohypoaldosteronism. Successful treatment of the urinary tract infection was accompanied by the resolution of all

[Response of the human neurogenic bladder induced by intramural nerve stimulation].

Only registered users can translate articles

The detrusor contraction induced by intramural nerve stimulation in human neurogenic bladders was investigated in comparison with control bladders. All the cases with the neurogenic bladder underwent ileocystoplasty in order to resolve intractable incontinence and/or vesicoureteral reflux due to low

Unusual radiological changes associated with probable Bartter's syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report 2 cases that fulfill some of the criteria for the diagnosis of Bartter's syndrome and were associated with marked radiological changes. Both patients demonstrated distortion of the caliceal pattern with medullary cavities and loss of cortical substance in the absence of vesicoureteral

Muscarinic cholinergic receptors in normal pediatric and myelodysplastic bladders.

Only registered users can translate articles

Radioligand receptor binding experiments and in vitro muscle contractile studies were performed to determine the binding and functional properties of detrusor muscarinic cholinergic receptors in control and myelodysplastic bladders. Control bladder tissue was obtained from 8 children with primary

[Contractile function of ureter in its anomalies in children].

Only registered users can translate articles

A study on the testing unit was made of a contractile function of ureteral fragments removed at reconstructive operations for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), neuromuscular dysplasia (NMD) and pelvoureteral segment stricture (PUSS). The study parameters (wall rigidity, amplitude of the contractions,

The role of bacterial adhesins in the outcome of childhood urinary tract infections.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of 3-day vs 10-day treatment with a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium for children with uncomplicated urinary tract infections and to determine the role of host factors, including vesicoureteral reflux, and of bacterial virulence factors,

Initial characterization of exstrophy bladder smooth muscle cells in culture.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Previous studies have suggested that exstrophic bladder smooth muscle cells grown in culture show contractility similar to that of normal bladder smooth muscle cells. Despite this similar contractility, other cellular characteristics may vary between exstrophic and normal bladder smooth

Renal tubular abnormalities in infants with hydronephrosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Abnormalities in renal tubular function have been observed in hydronephrotic urinary tract disease, resulting in metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia and excessive free water diuresis. The frequency of these abnormalities, particularly in our infant population, was the impetus for our

Increased sodium requirement following early postnatal surgical correction of congenital uropathies in infants.

Only registered users can translate articles

Serum electrolyte equilibrium and plasma aldosterone concentrations were monitored in 19 infants who had severe obstructive uropathy or grade 5 vesico-ureteral reflux and were undergoing surgical correction in the first 2 months of life. Before surgery high plasma aldosterone levels were observed in

Distal renal tubular acidosis secondary to vesico-ureteric reflux: A case report with review of literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) is the most common congenital anomaly of the urinary tract that occurs in 30%-50% of children presenting with recurrent urinary tract infections. Long-standing untreated VUR results in renal scarring and hydronephrotic changes ultimately leading to chronic renal failure

Reflux nephropathy and hypertension.

Only registered users can translate articles

Renal scarring associated with vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR), most commonly detected in young children, is associated with a significant risk of developing hypertension in later life. Hypertension in reflux nephropathy contributes significantly to morbidity including deterioration of renal function.

Urolithiasis in the First 2 Months of Life.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND There is limited data about urolithiasis in young infants. We reviewed clinical, imaging, and biochemical data of urolithiasis in the first 2 months of life. METHODS In an 11-year period, 77 of the 1172 children diagnosed with urolithiasis (6.8%) were 60 days old and younger (64.9% boys

Idiopathic hypercalciuria in children with urinary tract infection.

Only registered users can translate articles

Idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) predisposes to urinary tract infections (UTIs); however, there is scarce local information regarding such association. Our objectives were to estimate IH prevalence in children with UTI and to assess whether there were differences in relation to the presence or absence
