OBJECTIVES: New-onset diabetes mellitus after transplant is a common complication in renal allograft recipients.
BACKGROUND: The incidence of renal cell carcinoma in the United States differs by race/ethnicity.
PURPOSE: Children born with a persistent cloaca undergo complex pelvic reconstruction early in their life.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical features, additional abnormalities, and renal consequences of children with horseshoe kidney (HSK).
OBJECTIVE: To describe the natural history of renal function in patients on active surveillance (AS) for small renal masses (SRM) in the Delayed Intervention and Surveillance for Small Renal Masses Registry.
Introduction: Patients aged 60 years and older stand for the fastest growing group of patients with end-stage renal disease worldwide, and the need for kidney transplants among this population is rising.
PURPOSE: Many patients admitted for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have chronic renal insufficiency and erectile dysfunction (ED).
PURPOSE: Hyperparathyroidism is associated with pulmonary vascular calcification and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in a chronic kidney failure dog model, and increased prevalence of PH and a PH-hyperparathyroidism relationship in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis patients are reported.
PURPOSE: We compared perioperative and long-term renal functional outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) for small renal masses.
INTRODUCTION: Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Aim: The relation of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with metabolic, psychiatric and endocrinologic disorder is well-known.
PURPOSE: Chronic pain is a prominent feature of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) that is difficult to treat and manage, often resulting in a decrease in quality of life.
OBJECTIVE: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is becoming increasingly common in hospitalized patients.
BACKGROUND: Home-based exercise has been shown to provide benefits in terms of physical capacity in the general population, but has been scarcely investigated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
OBJECTIVE: To assess the influence of vascular clamping and ischemia time on long-term post-operative renal function following partial nephrectomy (PN) for cancer in a solitary kidney.
PURPOSE: No safe ultrasound (US) parameters have been established to differentiate the causes of graft dysfunction.
BACKGROUND: Urological complications such as ureteral strictures and ureteral leakage can affect the outcome of kidney transplantation by increasing morbidity and mortality, including graft loss.
The overall number of very elderly patients (>79 years of age) requiring renal replacement therapy is rising in the Western societies, with a choice for managing advanced chronic renal disease among hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, kidney transplant, conservative, or palliative care.
BACKGROUND: Partial nephrectomy (PN) has become the gold standard for the treatment of small tumors confined to the kidney.
A 45-year-old female patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and a horseshoe kidney underwent right laparoscopic nephrectomy.
