Disease relevance of Nephrostomy, Percutaneous

• Glutaraldehyde cross-linked collagen occlusion of the ureteral orifices with percutaneous nephrostomy: a minimally invasive option for treatment refractory hemorrhagic cystitis [1].
• Ten pyeloureteral systems in 8 patients (mean age 74 years) with cytologically proved ureteral carcinoma in situ (1 combined with ureteral papillary tumors) were perfused with bacillus Calmette-Guerin via a percutaneous nephrostomy tube [2].
• The sensitivity of the Whitaker test to indicate the relevance of post-renal transplant stenosis in comparison to the declining serum creatinine level after successful percutaneous nephrostomy was 79%; the specificity was 50% [3].
• We present a patient with tuberous sclerosis and bilateral angiomyolipomas with a right partial staghorn calculi in which the calculi was managed with a percutaneous nephrolithotomy [4].
• Retrograde percutaneous nephrolithotomy using the Lawson technique for management of complex nephrolithiasis [5].

High impact information on Nephrostomy, Percutaneous

• Percutaneous nephrostomy and uric acid stones [6].
• METHODS: We studied all ten brushite stone formers treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) during the past 3 years using digital video imaging of renal papillae, and obtained cortical and papillary biopsies [7].
• A percutaneous nephrostomy was performed and immunosuppressive therapy with prednisolone and azathioprine was initiated [8].
• Carbon dioxide as a lighter-than-urine contrast medium for percutaneous nephrostomy [9].
• MATERIALS AND METHODS: Following stone burden clearance via percutaneous nephrolithotomy 15 idiopathic calcium oxalate and 4 ileal bypass stone formers underwent flexible and rigid nephroscopy [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Nephrostomy, Percutaneous

• A three-week-old boy had life-threatening renal failure which was successfully treated by salbutamol and sodium bicarbonate infusion, rectal resonium and a left percutaneous nephrostomy [11].
• We describe two patients suffering from uric acid calculi; one had uremia due to obstruction in one kidney, and the other retained fragments after percutaneous nephrolithotomy [12].
• The study concludes that bonding of the antibiotic cefoxitin to percutaneous nephrostomy catheters did not influence the incidence of bacteriuria or urinary tract infection [13].
• Intraarterial injection of absolute ethanol was employed for the management of a pseudoaneurysm following percutaneous nephrolithotomy [14].
• Use of dexamethasone for ureteric obstruction in advanced prostate cancer: percutaneous nephrostomies can be avoided [15].

Biological context of Nephrostomy, Percutaneous

• Patients with normal renal function did not suffer significant change in the serum creatinine after treatment (percutaneous nephrolithotomy + embolization), and all but 1 patient have maintained normal blood pressure [16].

Anatomical context of Nephrostomy, Percutaneous

• Autonomic hyperreflexia in spinal cord injury patient during percutaneous nephrolithotomy for renal stone: a case report [17].
• The coexistence of high creatinine values and urinary tract dilatation in the postoperative period, after discarding concomitant causes, was managed with a percutaneous nephrostomy [18].
• The procedure of renal ablation consisted of 3 separate sessions: placement of percutaneous nephrostomy; transarterial embolization of the renal artery with absolute ethanol, and sclerotherapy of the renal pelvis and ureter through nephrostomy with absolute ethanol [19].

Associations of Nephrostomy, Percutaneous with chemical compounds

• Despite the statistically significant increase in renal scarring after percutaneous nephrostomy, neither creatinine and PAH clearances nor renal plasma flows changed significantly among the four treatment groups [20].
• Percutaneous nephrostomy and dissolution are an alternative to an operation in patients with cystine calculous disease [21].
• Percutaneous nephrostomy with antegrade amphotericin B irrigation, coupled with systemic antifungal therapy, is the mainstay of treatment [22].
• In 11 kidneys with presumed cystine stones that were symptomatic and obstructing, percutaneous nephrostomy and stone lavage with either acetylcysteine-bicarbonate solution or tromethamine-E were performed [21].
• Percutaneous nephrostomy with hemiacidrin infusion is another possible treatment in the growing alternatives available for patients with urinary struvite calculi [23].

Gene context of Nephrostomy, Percutaneous

• CONCLUSIONS: Renal intrapelvic pressure generally remains low during percutaneous nephrolithotomy [24].
• BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Large amounts of irrigating fluid are used during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) [25].
• OBJECTIVE: To assess a modified technique of multidetector computed tomographic urography (CTU) which can reproducibly and accurately map the pelvicalyceal system (PCS) and complex renal calculi, as such information is essential in choosing the optimal percutaneous approach into the PCS for safe and successful percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) [26].
• Percutaneous nephrostomy in pelviureteric junction obstruction in children [27].
• Hyponatremic coma following percutaneous nephrolithotomy [28].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Nephrostomy, Percutaneous

• Simple mechanical disintegration of cystine calculi by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and/or percutaneous nephrolithotomy is being performed widely around the world [29].
• One patient with creatinine greater than 3 mg./dl. who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy demonstrated stabilization of the renal function after treatment [30].
• Mean serum creatinine level before surgical intervention and after placement of a ureteral stent or percutaneous nephrostomy tube in patients with evidence of obstruction was 3.2 mg./dl [31].
