SUMMARY1. Plasma and whole‐blood zinc levels have been estimated in patients with chronic renal failure with and without hæmodialysis with disposable coils and with Kiil artificial kidneys.2. In the patients not undergoing hæmodialysis plasma zinc levels were slightly sub‐normal but red cell zinc levels were elevated.3. In the patients undergoing hæmodialysis with disposable coils, the plasma zinc levels were raised before dialysis and rose even further during dialysis. Similar results were found for red cell zinc levels and the additional zinc must have come from the disposable coils.4. With Kiil dialysis, the pre‐dialysis plasma zinc levels were slightly sub‐normal, and during dialysis the levels rose much less than with the dispos

摘要:

SUMMARYAs part of a world survey of stone composition the crystalline constituents present in collections of upper urinary tract calculi from Northern Ireland, South Africa and Kuwait have been determined by the X‐ray powder method. The Northern Ireland stones contain more calcium phosphate than any comparable collection studied so far. Increased amounts of this compound have also been found in other areas of Great Britain and are only partly a result of the number of infection stones consisting of calcium phosphate and struvite. The major constituents of the South African collection are oxalate and phosphate as in most collections of upper urinary tract calculi, but the amount of uric acid (12 per cent) is greater than that found in any collection of such stones from countries outside Central Europe and Israel. The collection from Kuwait is similar to those from America, India and Turkey, all of which contain a very large amount of calcium oxalate. Some of the stones from Kuwait consist of a mixture of calcium oxalate and ammonium acid urate, a combination of compounds commonly found in endemic children's bladder stones from certain areas of technically‐developing countries but not usually encountered in upper urinary tract stones from industrialised ar

摘要:

SUMMARYEighteen patients with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis were treated at the Mayo Clinic during the past 53 years. The variable and often deceptive rœntgenographic appearances, often matched by diagnostic inaccuracies confounded by a hepatic dysfunction syndrome akin to that produced by renal cell carcinoma, are often associated with equally confusing and diverse manifestations of the disease closely mimicking those of hypernephroma, perinephric abscess, pyelonephritis with stone, renal carbuncle, and tuberculosis of the kidney. The common denominator is renal sepsis with localised or widespread necrosis and abscess formation. Three different stages of the disease and suitable methods of treatment for each are described. The disease follows a benign course. There are no recurrences and the results of treatment are most gratifying

摘要:

SUMMARYThree cases of renal and perirenal gas‐forming infection are presented with an analysis of similar cases in the literature. This serious infection is always associated with obstructive uropathy, diabetes mellitus or a combination of the two. It is associated with a high mortality and loss of renal tissue. The importance of adequate conservative therapy, followed by well‐timed surgical intervention is emphasi

摘要:

SUMMARYThe perfusion pressures of obstructed segments of uretero‐vesical junctions have been measured in vitro.Following analysis of the results obtained it is suggested that the defect in primary obstructed mega‐ureter is of the collagen fibres rather than of the ureteric musculature.It is suggested that secondary urethral hydro‐ureter is analogous with secondary hydro‐ureter of adult men, seen in some cases of benign prostatic enla

摘要:

Aurinaryfistula following renal allotransplantation is a serious complication (Pletkaet al., 1969; Starzlet al., 1970). The leakage is usually from the site of the ureteric anastomosis and occurs either early following operation, or a little later, associated with rejection.An unusual site of leakage is reported in this paper which occurred in the third postoperative month. The site of origin was from a large infarcted section of the kidney following localised arterial spasm during the operation. A method of successful repair is described.
