A 10-year-old boy suffered from recurrent attacks of fever, vomiting, and hematuria. During disease flares, circulating immune complexes were detected in the serum. Elevated levels of Bb, Ba, and C3a indicated complement activation through the alternative pathway. Complement C4 was undetectable. C4
The aim of this study was to review the outcomes of palliative radiotherapy (RT) for hematuria treated with modern RT techniques.This was a retrospective cohort study. The primary endpoint was symptom response rate. Secondary endpoints included symptom Renal artery embolism (RAE) is an uncommon entity that is most often secondary to a cardiac source. Most reported cases have been in patients with underlying atrial fibrillation (AF), and occurrence of RAE, especially in patients with valvular heart disease, and sinus rhythm is very rare. We
BACKGROUND
Provocative growth hormone (GH) stimulation testing is used to evaluate short stature and growth failure in children. Agents commonly used for testing include clonidine, arginine and glucagon. While stimulation testing is generally considered safe, gross hematuria has been described as a
Patients with flank pain and hematuria are common emergency department presentations of nephrolithiasis. We may anchor on this etiology and potentially miss other less common differentials. We present a case of a patient with hematuria and flank pain typical of nephrolithiasis who was diagnosed with
We report two children with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) associated with mitochondrial cytopathy (MC). Case 1 was diagnosed as MC with the findings of ptosis, ophthalmoplegia, failure to thrive, high serum lactate and pyruvate levels, ragged red fibers in muscle biopsy and the common
OBJECTIVE
Open surgical repair has been the standard treatment for intraperitoneal bladder rupture. We sought to explore the possibility of nonoperative treatment of isolated intraperitoneal bladder rupture in children.

We present the case of a 21-year-old man who developed a renal artery pseudoaneurysm following a 7-foot fall onto his back. He initially presented with gross hematuria, left flank pain, and back pain. He was observed in the hospital for 3 days and discharged. One week later, he was readmitted with
Copperhead envenomation cases reported in the literature frequently lack identification of the subspecies of copperhead responsible for the envenomation. Whether subspecific identity would be useful in predicting possible different toxicity profiles may have clinical relevance. We report here the
Simple renal cysts are one of the most common lesions in elderly. These cysts are usually asymptomatic but when the size of these cysts increase, we would see symptoms such as hypertension, hematuria, flank pain or urinary obstruction. In this study, we explore a case of small bowel obstruction that
BACKGROUND
It is difficult to diagnose intermittent hydronephrosis and to decide the indication of surgical intervention. We investigated 23 cases of intermittent hydronephrosis.
METHODS
From 1978 to 1995, a total of 23 patients were diagnosed as intermittent hydronephrosis in our institution. We
We report on a 25-year-old patient diagnosed as having Bourneville tuberous sclerosis with a giant angiomyolipoma 16 X 12 cm. in diameter, and two small angiomyolipomas in the left kidney, multiple asymptomatic angiomas in the right kidney and two 1 cm. diameter angiomas in the liver. The presenting
BACKGROUND
Postpartum hemolytic uremic syndrome (PHUS) is a severe thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) that is clinically characterized by hemolytic anemia, renal dysfunction, and low platelet levels after childbirth. Here, we report a rare case of unexpected death due to PHUS.
