Purpose
The aim of the study was to assess the presentation, imaging findings, management, and outcome of segmental multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) in children.Materials and Methods
Six patients with segmental MCDK were diagnosed and observed at our hospital. We reviewed the medical records to collect data on initial symptoms, results of imaging studies, associated urinary tract anomalies, operation, and outcome.Results
Three patients had abnormal prenatal ultrasound and were diagnosed by further postnatal imaging; they were asymptomatic after birth. The other 3 children presented with a renal mass, recurrent urinary tract infection, or urinary incontinence. Five patients had associated ipsilateral or contralateral urinary tract abnormalities, including vesicoureteral reflux, ureterocele, duplex collecting system, ureteropelvic junction stenosis, and ectopic ureter. Lower tract reconstruction was performed in 3, and open biopsy was done in 1 child. None underwent partial or total nephrectomy, and all had involution of the cysts for a mean of 40 months.Conclusions
Most of the cases occur in the upper pole of a duplex kidney and often involute spontaneously without significant complication. The clinical presentation and imaging findings depend on the associated anomalies and complications. Although the latter may require surgery to resolve, segmental MCDK itself rarely requires resection. 相似文献2.

Purpose
The long-term outcome for children after antenatal intervention for obstructive uropathies is disappointing. We reported that renal dysplastic changes are well established 3 weeks after obstruction in a fetal lamb model. We used this model to explore renal development and bladder function after fetal intervention.Methods
We created an obstructive uropathy in fetal lambs at 60 days gestation by ligating the urethra and urachus. A vesicostomy (female) or urethrostomy (male) were performed 21 days later. The fetuses were killed at term (145 days) and bladder volume and compliance were measured. The urinary tract was processed for histologic examination.Results
Twenty two fetuses were shunted. Nine were miscarried or were still-born. Thirteen survived, and 11 had a successful shunt with a small bladder (8 ± 5 mL) compared with controls (71 ± 19 mL) (P < .05). Shunted bladders had poor compliance. Histologically, they had thickened submucosal connective tissue with hypertrophied muscle. Histology of the renal tissue demonstrated relatively well-preserved renal architecture with reduced nephron mass (oligonephronia) in 2 lambs and multicystic dysplastic change in 3. Six (55%) had normal nephrogenesis.Conclusions
In our model, shunt operations after obstructive uropathy fail to preserve bladder function. Shunting ameliorated the development of cystic dysplasia, but half of the lambs had oligonephronia or multicystic dysplastic kidney. These might develop renal failure later in life. 相似文献3.

Purpose
Our obstructive uropathy model in fetal lambs showed that renal cystic changes appeared 3 weeks after obstruction. In this study, the authors investigated the changes resulting from complete urinary tract obstruction in the first 7 days after obstruction.Methods
An obstructive uropathy was created in fetal lambs at 60 days’ gestation by ligating the urethra and urachus. They were delivered 48 hours, 3 days, 5 days, and 7 days later by cesarian section. The kidneys were removed and processed for histologic examination.Results
Eighteen fetuses were operated on and 15 (4 at 48 hours, 4 at 3 days, 2 at 5 days, and 5 at 7 days; 83%) survived. Macroscopically, bladder dilatation and slightly dilated ureters were identified from 48 hours. Microscopically, dilatation of proximal tubules started from 48 hours after obstruction and increased by 7 days. Glomerular cysts in the nephrogenic zone also were identified from 48 hours. Dysplastic changes were not found.Conclusions
The first areas in the developing kidney that suffer damage after obstructive uropathy are the proximal tubule and the nephrogenic zone. This change started 48 hours after obstruction. Shunting procedures need to be performed considerably earlier than previously thought. 相似文献4.
OBJECTIVES
To better define the outcome and association of multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) with hypertension, vesico‐ureteric reflux (VUR), infection and cancer, as there is no consensus on the management of patients born with MCDK. The risk of cancer has dictated the surgical management of the disease in the past.METHODS
The Medline database was searched for articles published between 1965 and 2006 and written in the English language, and containing the keywords ‘multicystic dysplastic kidney’.RESULTS
The inclusion criteria were met by 105 reports that were subsequently analysed. Of MCDK, 60% regress or involute within 3 years. About 25% of patients will have VUR into the contralateral kidney, of which 90% is grade ≤3. The risk of urinary tract infection appears to be associated with VUR or coexistent abnormalities rather than the MCDK. The risk of hypertension is no greater than that in the general population and nephrectomy is usually not curative. The overall risk of Wilms’ tumour developing in a MCDK is <1 in 2000. All reported Wilms’ tumours were identified before 4 years of age and 70% presented as a palpable mass.CONCLUSIONS
Published reports support the non‐surgical management of MCDK. Common practice has been to remove palpable or growing MCDKs, although these represent a very small fraction of MCDKs. In theory, ultrasonographic surveillance until 4 years old might allow the earlier detection of a Wilms’ tumour, and decrease the intensity of chemotherapy and improve prognosis. Previous reports do not prove or disprove this concept, and the appropriate frequency of surveillance is not evident. 相似文献5.

Purpose
The authors investigated whether serum basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF) can be used as a noninvasive marker of renal parenchymal damage (scarring) in cases of vesicoureteric reflux (VUR).Methods
Serum levels of b-FGF were measured in 120 children with known grade III to grade V VUR and 21 controls using a standard enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique.Results
Sixty-five children had grade III VUR, 39 had grade IV, and 16 had grade V. Renal scarring was seen in 43 children on radionuclide scanning. There were no significant differences between serum b-FGF levels for different grades of VUR without scarring and controls. However, serum b-FGF levels were significantly higher in VUR patients with renal scarring than in patients with VUR without renal scarring (P < .001).Conclusions
This report is the first to document serum b-FGF profiles in children with VUR and renal scarring. The authors recommend measuring it as a simple, noninvasive marker of renal scarring in cases of VUR. 相似文献6.
Introduction
Laparoscopy may have a place in the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). We report our initial experience in the treatment of VUR by laparoscopic extravesical transperitoneal approach (LETA) following the Lich-Gregoir technique to describe the evolution and to evaluate the results and benefits of this technique for these patients.Materials and Methods
Between August 2007 and May 2009, 43 renal units in 30 children (23 female and 7 male) with VUR and deterioration of renal function on isotope renography (17 unilateral and 13 bilateral) were treated with LETA. The mean age was 52 (range, 15-183) months. Nine patients had a double total collector system associated with VUR in a lower system. Two of them had a ureterocele with adequate upper polar rein function, and another had a ureterocele with complete deterioration of upper polar rein function.Results
The mean surgical time was 70 (38-120) minutes in unilateral and 124 (100-180) minutes in bilateral VUR. All procedures were successfully completed laparoscopically, and the reflux was corrected in all patients. At the same time, 1 heminephrectomy and 2 ureterocele were removed by laparoscopy and endoscopy, respectively. We had 1 ureter leakage 15 days postoperation that underwent a redo reimplantation. In cases of bilateral VUR, 1 patient presented postoperative bladder emptying difficulty and required temporary urethral catheterization postoperatively. The mean hospital stay was 24 hours. A cystogram was performed systematically in all patients at 45 days postoperation; none of them presented recurrence of VUR. The follow-up was 11 (range, 2-24) months, without recurrence of VUR.Conclusion
Laparoscopic extravesical transperitoneal approach in the treatment of VUR is a safe and effective approach even in unilateral, bilateral simultaneous, and double total collector system. The technique results in a shorter hospital stay, less postoperative discomfort, and reduced recovery period, with a low morbidity to resolve the VUR and with success rates similar to the open technique. 相似文献7.

Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate whether kidney transplantations performed using grafts with multiple arteries negatively affected renal function or increased the risk of vascular or urologic complications.Methods
Among 249 kidney transplant patient followed for at least 1 year between 2000 and 2005, we retrospectively evaluated their donor renal artery anatomy to compare postoperative vascular and urologic complications: creatinine clearance at 1, 2, and 5 years, as well as graft survival at 3 and 5 years.Results
While 214 (85.9%) displayed a single artery (group 1), 35 (14.1%) showed multiple renal arteries (group 2). Thirty-one of the group 2 allografts had two, three donors had three, and one had four arteries. The postoperative vascular and urologic complications and the creatinine clearance values at 1, 2, and 5 years of both groups were similar. The 3- and 5-year graft survivals among group 1 were 95% and 90%, whereas those of group 2 were 94% and 91% respectively (P < .05).Conclusion
Our study indicated that multiple renal arteries did not adversely affect postoperative urologic or vascular complications or kidney allograft or patient survival compared with single renal artery cases. 相似文献8.
Introduction
It is unclear whether the presence of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) after renal transplantation compromises long-term graft function. The aim of this study in renal allograft recipients with a history of late recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) was to determine whether the presence of VUR conferred an increased risk of long-term graft dysfunction.Methods
We included 37 renal allograft recipients, who were at least 2 years after transplantation and had a history of at least 1 recurrent UTI per year underwent voiding cystourethrograms (VCUG). The presence and severity of VUR were graded with severity scores ranging from G1 to G5.Results
Of the 37 patients, 15 (41%) showed low grades of reflux (G1-3) on VCUG. Patient and graft survivals were not significantly different in the VUR group (n = 15) compared with the no VUR group (n = 22) at 1, 3, or 5 years. Renal function assessment by means of serum creatinine (Cr) concentration also demonstrated similar results in both groups at 1, 3, and 5 years: 5 y mean Cr: VUR 1.5 ± 0.6 mg/dL versus no VUR 1.8 ± 1.1 mg/dL (P = NS). No difference was also observed in the 2 groups in the number of UTI episodes for each patient per year.Conclusions
In patients with late UTIs, the presence of low-grade VUR did not affect long-term graft function. There was no indication for a operative repair of low-grade VUR. 相似文献9.
Background
Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) has become the method of choice for living-donor kidney transplantation. However, LDN may result in decreased renal function in the donor, and risk of end-stage renal failure has been reported.Objective
To evaluate changes in renal function after LDN.Patients and Methods
The study included 51 living donors of renal transplants between March 2002 and December 2008. Before kidney donation, we computed the initial function of the kidney preserved in the donor using 24-hour creatinine clearance (Ccr) and functional ratio as revealed at technetium 99m dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scanning. After kidney donation, serum creatinine concentration (sCr) and Ccr were calculated on postoperative day 2 and every 3 months thereafter.Results
After LDN, mean sCr increased immediately, from 0.90 to 1.31, as did Ccr of the kidney preserved in the donor, from 58.2 to 79.6, a 36.9% increase. A greater percent increase in function was observed in younger donors and those with lower initial Ccr of the preserved kidney. Although 9.8% of donors demonstrated slightly decreased renal function of the preserved kidney at last follow-up, renal function was adequately preserved in most donors.Conclusion
Younger donors and those with lower initial function of the preserved kidney before nephrectomy demonstrate a greater increase in function after nephrectomy. Age might be a risk factor for decreased renal function after LDN. Older potential living donors may need more careful evaluation before kidney donation. 相似文献10.

Objective
This study examined the current state of information on renal replacement therapy and the educational demands of kidney transplant recipients.Methods
The study was conducted through a survey. The questionnaire of this study was developed by researchers and was completed by 72 kidney recipients.Results
The recipients were most frequently informed of hemodialysis (87.5%), followed by kidney transplantation (69.4%) or peritoneal dialysis (48.6%) as a modality of renal replacement therapy at the time of diagnosis of chronic renal failure. Information about kidney transplantation was provided when they were diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD; 33.3%) or right after initiation of dialysis (15.3%) or a few years thereafter (9.7%). They were informed about kidney transplantation mostly by transplantation surgeons (mean degree score = 3.1 ± 1.3; range, 1-4), followed in order by transplant coordinators, nephrologists, family members, other patients, artificial kidney unit nurses, and mass media or internet. Regarding the influence of the information on their decision to receive a transplant, the mean score was 3.2 ± 1.2 (range, 1-5). Also, kidney transplantation was evaluated as the best renal replacement therapy for work, pregnancy/delivery, traveling, and diet.Conclusion
Patients diagnosed with ESRD are not fully informed of transplantation as a primary optimal renal replacement therapy for their quality of life. 相似文献11.
Laparoscopic nephrectomy, ex vivo excision and autotransplantation for complex renal tumors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Purpose:
In many patients partial nephrectomy is the preferred alternative to radical nephrectomy for upper urinary tract cancers. We describe the use of laparoscopic nephrectomy, ex vivo excision and reconstruction, and autotransplantation to expand the realm of minimally invasive, nephron sparing surgery to the most complex renal tumors.Materials and Methods:
In our cohort undergoing renal surgery 2 patients had a solitary kidney with renal tumors not considered amenable to in situ partial nephrectomy. After transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy ex vivo tumor excision and renorrhaphy were performed. The kidney was transplanted to the ipsilateral iliac vessels through the Gibson extraction incision.Results:
Indications for surgery were high grade urothelial carcinoma within a caliceal diverticulum and a central 5 cm renal cell carcinoma. Mean nephrectomy, cold ischemic and transplantation times were 4.5, 2 and 3.7 hours, respectively. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were noted. Hospitalization was 12 and 6 days, respectively. At 20 and 12 months of followup each patient remained off dialysis without evidence of recurrence.Conclusions:
Despite experience with conventional nephron sparing surgery some cases may be more appropriate for ex vivo excision and reconstruction. In these situations the minimally invasive approach provides a kidney suitable for renal autotransplantation, while simultaneously decreasing patient morbidity. This novel approach to complex renal tumors is feasible when one applies principles of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy and possesses experience with renal transplantation. 相似文献12.

Background
Hyperuricemia is a common complication after kidney transplantation, and may adversely affect graft survival.Objective
To assess the prevalence of and predictors for development of hyperuricemia after renal transplantation.Materials and Methods
Hyperuricemia was defined as a serum uric acid concentration of at least 7.0 mg/dL in men and 6.0 mg/dL in women. From March 2008 to May 2010, uric acid concentration was measured in 12,767 blood samples from 2961 adult renal transplant recipients (64% male and 36% female patients).Results
Hyperuricemia was observed in 1553 patients (52.4%). The disorder frequently occurred in women (P = .003) and in patients with impaired renal graft function (P = .00). After adjustment for sex, serum creatinine concentration, diabetes mellitus, cyclosporine concentration, and dyslipidemia, only female sex (P = .03) and renal allograft dysfunction (P = .05) were associated with hyperuricemia after kidney transplantation.Conclusion
Hyperuricemia is a common complication after kidney transplantation, and renal allograft insufficiency predisposes to higher uric acid concentration. 相似文献13.

Purpose
The outcome of ureteric reimplantation (UR) during bladder augmentation (BA) for high-grade vesicoureteric reflux (HVUR) in patients with neurogenic bladder was assessed to determine the effectiveness of UR. A literature review of HVUR and BA was also performed.Methods
Twenty-two consecutive sigmoidocolocystoplasty patients were reviewed retrospectively; 10 had unilateral HVUR only, 3 had bilateral HVUR, and 9 had unilateral HVUR associated with low-grade VUR in the contralateral renal unit (RU). Preoperatively, VUR was grade V in 3 RU, grade IV in 22 RU, grade III in 5 RU, and grade II in 4 RU. Ureteric reimplantation was performed in the native bladder in 24 RU (16 patients) and in the colon cap in 10 RU (6 patients).Results
Mean age at sigmoidocolocystoplasty/UR was 8.5 years (range, 2-15 years). Mean follow-up was 12.8 years (range, 2-22 years). Postoperatively, cystourethrography showed residual VUR (grade IV to grade III) in only 1 RU (3%); diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid scintigraphy showed no obstruction in all RU; 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid was improved in 13 RU, unchanged in 18 RU, and worsened in 3 RU; and serum creatinine remained normal in 20 patients and worsened in 2. Urinary tract infection, universal preoperatively, was seen postoperatively in only 2 patients. In the literature, 0% to 16.7% of HVUR persisted after BA alone, and no long-term data were available.Conclusions
Ureteric reimplantation during BA is safe and effective for treating HVUR in patients with neurogenic bladder. 相似文献14.

Purpose
To determine the effectiveness of induction immunotherapy with interleukin-2 receptor antagonists (IL2RA) after intestinal transplantation (IT).Methods
A single-center, retrospective study was undertaken of all patients undergoing IT using existing medical records and database. Immunotherapy was either triple (standard maintenance triple therapy [SMTT]) or IL2RA [induction IL2RA plus SMTTx] or OKT3 [induction antilymphocyte preparations plus SMTTx]). Data was collected for the first 175 postoperative days. Outcomes included pretransplant renal function, posttransplant serum creatinine normalized to age (nl-sCR), rejection (ACR), and survival. Standard statistical analysis was undertaken.Results
There were no significant differences in the groups: triple (n = 10, median age 3.5 years, cGFR 106 ± 44 mL/min), IL2RA (n = 13, median age 3.2 years, cGFR 101 ± 61 mL/min), OKT3 (n = 4, median age 7.7 years, cGFR 104 ± 27 mL/min). nl-sCR was significantly (P < .01) lower in IL2RA at most postoperative weeks. IL2RA had significantly fewer rejection and infectious episodes than the other two groups. Three-year patient survival was 92% in IL2RA versus 50% triple and OKT3.Conclusions
IL2RA immunotherapy after IT is associated with a lower incidence of renal dysfunction as compared with historical controls. Furthermore, IL2RA therapy resulted in a lower incidence of rejection and improved survival. IL2RA should be considered in select patients undergoing IT. 相似文献15.

Objective
The aim of this study was to assess the long-term risks of chronic kidney disease and arterial hypertension in living kidney donors.Methods
Donors who were followed for more than 1 year after nephrectomy were included. We assessed each donor's blood pressure, urine protein, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).Results
The follow-up rate was 11% (154 out of 1,356 donors), only 19% of whom were followed by nephrologists. Blood pressure had increased from 113/75 to 116/77 mm Hg (P < .01), urinary protein excretion after donation did not increase, and renal function was well preserved after donor nephrectomy. However, 33 patients (21.4%) showed a decreased eGFR of <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, and 3 donors developed end-stage renal disease that required renal replacement therapy.Conclusions
The follow-up rate of living donors after donation was low, and we observed an increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease after donation. 相似文献16.

Introduction
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), a complication after kidney transplantation, may be caused by recurrent urinary tract infections evaluating in life-threatening pyelonephritis and urosepsis. Open surgical correction is the standard treatment despite its morbidity. However, minimally invasive approaches are available.Materials and methods
Our study group describes seven patients with functioning kidney grafts and a diagnosis of VUR associated with recurrent urinary tract infections. The procedure was performed under antibiotic prophylaxis and spinal anesthesia. An endoscopic injection of 1 mL of biomaterial (copolymer of dextranomer and hyalurunic acid) was administered into the ureteral neo-orifice following the Sting technique. The catheter was removed within 24 hours in all cases.Results
Between June 2009 and January 2010, nine procedures were performed in seven patients. Two patients experienced self-limiting post-surgical episodes of hematuria that did not need urologic manipulation. There were no episodes of retention, ureteral obstruction, or urinary infections. One patient required a reinjection 5 months later as a result of clinical failure. Apart from this one case, the other patients showed improvements with no infectious complications.Conclusions
Endoscopic correction with VUR seems to be a reliable and safe option as a first treatment for the transplant patient. More cases are required in order to improve the learning curve and, therefore, the success rate. Closer monitoring is needed to evaluate the efficiency of the copolymer, the evolution of the reflux, and the possible long-term complications in this sort of patients. 相似文献17.

Background
Neonates born to mothers, who underwent organ transplantation require close medical monitoring. It is unknown how chronically diseased mother's organs or immunosuppressive drugs affect fetal growth and development; some immunosuppressants are teratogenic and contraindicated during pregnancy. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of prematurity and intrauterine growth restriction in neonates born to women who have undergone renal or liver transplantation.Methods
Our retrospective analysis identified 53 (25 renal and 28 liver) cases of neonates delivered by female graft recipients between January 2005 and December 2009. Hypotrophy was defined as a birth weight <10th percentile for gestational age. We excluded newborns diagnosed with severe hypotrophy (<5th percentile).Results
Neonates born prematurely were predominate in the renal (16/25, 64%), but less than half of the liver cohort (13/28, 46%). Hypotrophy less than the 10th percentile was noted significantly more often among renal than liver recipients; 36% versus 14% (P < .05). Severe hypotrophy was also observed significantly more often among renal than liver transplant neonates: 28% versus 3.6% (P < .001).Conclusions
Compared with liver insufficiency, chronic kidney diseases have stronger effects on the fetus, leading to adverse neonatal complications. A greater prevalence of preterm births, as well as hypotrophic newborns, especially less than the 5th percentile, was observed among neonates delivered by mothers after kidney transplantation. 相似文献18.
Aim
The aim of this study was to assess if discrepancy between power-Doppler voiding urosonography (PD-VUS) and voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) affects the management of patients with primary vesicoureteric reflux (VUR).Materials and Methods
Fifty-six children with suspected or known VUR were assessed both by PD-VUS and VCUG. Two independent observers, both pediatric surgeons, each aware of the results of only one imaging modality, advised children's management according to present care standards. Agreement between diagnostic findings at the two imaging modalities and between therapeutic advice of the two observers was evaluated using κ statistics.Results
PD-VUS diagnosed VUR in 3 patients and 6 ureteral units more than VCUG. VCUG showed VUR in 2 ureteral units, but in no patient more than PD-VUS. Accuracy of PD-VUS compared with VCUG was 92.8% and 94.6% considering ureteral units and patients, respectively. The two observers disagreed about the management of 4 (7%) of 56 cases. Agreement was significant (P < .001) both between findings at the two imaging modalities and between management options advised by the two independent observers.Conclusion
Vesicoureteric reflux management based on PD-VUS findings is consistent with a management based on standard VCUG. 相似文献19.

Background
Delayed graft function (DGF) has a negative effect on the results of living-donor kidney transplantation.Objective
To investigate potential risk factors for DGF.Methods
This prospective study included 200 consecutive living donors and their recipients between January 2002 and July 2007. Delayed graft function was defined as need for dialysis within the first postoperative week.Results
Delayed graft function was diagnosed in 12 patients (6%). Intraoperative complications occurred in 10 donors (5%), and postoperative complications in 24 donors (13.5%). One-year kidney graft survival with vs without DGF was 52% and 98%, respectively (P < .002). In donors, 2 univariate risk factors for DGF identified were lower counts per second at peak activity during scintigraphy, and multiple renal veins. In recipients, only 2 or more kidney transplantations and occurrence of an acute rejection episode were important factors. At multivariate analysis, increased risk of DGF was associated with the presence of multiple renal veins (odds ratio, 151.57; 95% confidence interval, 2.53-9093.86) and an acute rejection episode (odds ratio, 78.87; 95% confidence interval, 3.17-1959.62).Conclusion
Hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy is a safe procedure. The presence of multiple renal veins and occurrence of an acute rejection episode are independent risk factors for DGF. 相似文献20.
