Poliuria post-obstructiva. Análisis fisiopatológico de un caso

Rev. méd. Chile; 151 (4), 2023
The relief of the impediment to urinary flow is the treatment of acute kidney failure due to urinary tract obstruction. However, there is a risk of inducing massive polyuria, which can be self-limited or produce severe contraction of the intravascular volume with pre-renal acute kidney failure and altera...

Clinical and radiographic outcomes following salvage intervention for ureteropelvic junction obstruction

Int. braz. j. urol; 47 (6), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: We aimed to assess failure rates of salvage interventions and changes in split kidney function (SKF) following failed primary repair of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of adult patients at an academic medical center who underwen...

Exclusión renal por endometriosis profunda ureteral: a propósito de un caso

INTRODUCCIÓN: La endometriosis ureteral es una afección rara que afecta al 0.01-1,7% de las mujeres con endometriosis. Hasta un 30% cursa de forma asintomática y un 11,5-14,7% pueden evolucionar con falla renal. La falta de diagnóstico de la enfermedad puede terminar en una uropatía obstructiva y fa...

How I do it open distal ureteroureterostomy for ectopic ureters in infants with duplex systems and no vesicoureteral reflux under 6 months of age

Int. braz. j. urol; 47 (3), 2021
ABSTRACT We describe a step by step technique for open distal ureteroureterostomy (UU) in infants less than 6 months presenting with duplex collecting system and upper pole ectopic ureter in the absence of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)....

BM-MSC-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEV) from trained animals presented nephroprotective potential in unilateralureteral obstruction model

Background: The efficacy of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSC) and its extracellular vesicles has been demonstrated for a broad spectrum of indications, including kidney diseases. However, BM-MSC donor characteristics and their potential are not usually considered. Therefore, the present work...

MicroRNA-302b mitigates renal fibrosis via inhibiting TGF-β/Smad pathway activation

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (3), 2021
Renal fibrosis is one of the most significant pathological changes after ureteral obstruction. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway plays essential roles in kidney fibrosis regulation. The aims of the present study were to investigate effects of microRNA-302b (miR-302b) on ren...

The outcomes of mini-laparoscopic pyeloplasty in children - brazilian experience

Int. braz. j. urol; 46 (2), 2020
ABSTRACT Objetive Pelvicureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction is the main cause of hydronephrosis in childhood. Open pyeloplasty has been the gold standard treatment of this condition with success rate above 90%. The role of laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) in children is less well defined and has slowly em...
