Suspecting Renal Artery Thrombosis [PDF]

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2014
Renal artery thrombosis is a threatening clinical diagnosis, in which renal infarction may occur. Often misdiagnosed, for mimicking other common diseases, it should be considered in persistent flank pain to improve care and reduce morbidity.

Ureteral obstruction by an aberrant renal artery: A case report [PDF]

Indian Journal of Case Reports, 2018
The ureter is a muscular tubular structure that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder. It is usually about 20–25 cmin length and 3–5 mm diameter. The upper half lies in the belly and the lower half in the pelvic area. A ureteral obstruction is ablockage of either unilateral or bilateral ureters that carry urine from the kidneys to the ...

Renal function after release of ureteral obstruction: Role of endothelin and the renal artery endothelium [PDF]

Kidney International, 1992
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) are decreased and mean arterial pressure (MAP) is increased after unilateral release of bilateral ureteral obstruction (BUO). An imbalance between vasoconstrictor and vasodilator substances may explain the hemodynamic alterations seen in this setting. The present study examines the

Can the inferior mesenteric artery cause ureteropelvic junction obstruction?

Radiology Case Reports
Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a pathological condition characterized by obstruction of the junction between the renal pelvis and ureter, often resulting in dilatation of the renal collecting system.

New advances in assessment of the individual renal function in chronic unilateral renal obstruction using functional CT compared to 99mTc-DTPA renal scan [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: The selection of optimal treatment for obstructive nephrouropathy requires information about the functional status of each kidney. Nuclear renal scanning objectively measure differential renal function.

Renal artery stenosis-when to screen, what to stent? [PDF]

, 2014
Renal artery stensosis (RAS) continues to be a problem for clinicians, with no clear consensus on how to investigate and assess the clinical significance of stenotic lesions and manage the findings.

Large renal artery aneurysm masquerading as renal cell carcinoma

, 2022
Renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) are rare. Diagnosis is typically incidental with most cases asymptomatic and detected on routine imaging. Rarely large saccular RAAs may appear to extend to the neighbouring renal parenchyma. Differentiating these from renal

Relation between mild renal dysfunction and outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]

, 2005
Background: Risk stratification algorithms for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) do not include a weighting for preoperative mild renal impairment defined as a serum creatinine 130 to 199 micromol/L (1.47 to 2.25 mg/dL), which may impact mortality ...

Current approaches to atherosclerotic obstructive renal artery stenosis [PDF]

Therapeutic Advances in Cardiovascular Disease, 2015
Increased lifespan in the last few decades has substantially changed the scenario for renal artery stenosis. Indeed, because older populations show a higher prevalence of atherosclerotic disease, the incidence of atheromatous renal artery stenosis has also increased.

Nonatherosclerotic Obstructive Vascular Diseases of the Mesenteric and Renal Arteries [PDF]

Clinical Cardiology, 2014
AbstractNonatherosclerotic vascular diseases of the mesenteric and renal arteries are considered to occur less frequently than those caused by occlusive atherosclerotic disease. However, when present, they pose a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Such disorders include fibromuscular dysplasia, median arcuate ligament syndrome, the renal
