Remaining kidney volume indexed to weight as a strong predictor of estimated gl...

The donors' estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after living nephrectomy has been a concern, particularly in donors with smaller kindeys. Therefore, we developed this retrospective observational study in 195 donors to determine the ability remaining kidney volume indexed to weight (RKV/W) to predict eGFR at 1 year through multivariate linear regression and to explore this relationship between annual eGF...

Evaluation of Patterns of Presentation, Practice, and Outcomes of Upper Tract U...

Background: Available guidelines on the management of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) are restricted due to the lack of strong evidence-based recommendations. Adequate, well-powered randomized trials are missing due to the rarity of the disease. To overcome this problem, we need alternative study designs to provide generalizable data. Objective: The primary aim of this registry is to provide a real-worl...

New Diagnostic Endoscopic Techniques for Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is uncommon, but most cases are invasive at diagnosis. Standard of care in patients with UTUC is radical nephroureterectomy (RNU), but low risk UTUC can be treated with kidney sparing surgery (KSS) without compromising oncological outcomes. Current diagnostic techniques have many limitations on UTUC diagnosis, mainly in the detection of carcinoma in situ (CIS), a flat, hi...

Urinary Stones in a Horseshoe Kidney with Ipsilateral Ureteral Reimplantation: ...

Horseshoe kidney is a common congenital renal anomaly and is often associated with urinary tract infections and renal calculi as a consequence of anatomical changes that impair the efficient drainage of the urine. The treatment of urinary stones in these cases becomes a challenge due to the underlying anatomical abnormalities requiring an adaptation of the techniques normally used for the treatment of renal lit...

Prospective evaluation on the effect of interobserver variability of digital re...
