This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and stages of chronic kidney disease and to identify common causes of chronic kidney disease in patients as well as the study of risk factors for the disease. The study included 1314 patients have
been admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine at al-Assad University Hospital in Lattakia where they were diagnosed with chronic renal disease patients at 120 of them by 9.1%. The causes of chronic kidney disease were: diabetes 41.7%; hypertension 30%; Glomerulonephritis 11.7%; obstructive uropathy 5%; and Glomerugenetic disease 3.3%; mm3.3%; polycystic kidney d isease3.3% ; idiopathic 1.7%. Chronic kidney disease stages 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; were: 10%; 21.7%; 33.3% 20%; 15% respectively. Risk factors were: advanced age (over 50) 75%; high blood sugar 53.3%; lack of blood albumin 65%; hypertension 38.3%; family history of chronic kidney disease 25%; high triglycerides and cholesterol 11.7% .
This study aimed to provide an assessment of some anatomical
characteristics of the formal comparison to the kidneys of dogs
and sheep by studying of macroscopic anatomical differences and
morphometric measurement between the studied kidneys . (20
)
Kidneys were taken randomly during the slaughter of ten heads of
sheep in the local slaughterhouses, regardless of gender and age ,
Animals were clinically free of diseases and (20) kidneys were
taken from ten local stray dogs and regardless of gender and age ,
Animals were clinically free of diseases . the study showed the
presence of Morvomitrih differences in kidney (length – width -
thickness - weight) and some anatomical variations (renal pelvis -
renal Columns )between the kidneys of sheep and dogs. The study
pointed out there are many similarities between the kidneys of
sheep and dogs whereas revealed the length of the dogs kidneys.
The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of lead and cadmium in the
meat, liver and kidney of sheep exposed in the local markets of the city of Latakia, and to
compare the results with those reported by other countries and with the
maximum
acceptable levels for human consumption, Lead and cadmium were determined by atomic
absorption spectrometry (AAS).
The mean concentrations of lead in meat, liver and kidney were 0.043, 0.284 and
0.118 mg/kg fresh weights, respectively, while mean concentrations of cadmium were
0.017, 0.173 and 0.252 mg/kg fresh weights, respectively. Statistical analysis showed a
significant difference in lead and cadmium concentrations between liver and kidney and in
meat.
Purpose: We evaluated the safety of ESWL (Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy).
Materials and Methods: A total of 300 patients with stones located in the kidney or
the upper ureter were randomly divided into 3 groups, group A—100 who received ESWL
and they do not use anticoagulation drugs and thy do not have problems with kidneys, liver
or pancreas B—100 who received ESWL and they use anticoagulation drugs C—100 who
received ESWL and they have one kidney. Radiologic and laboratory follow up were
performed in the first week by:US –UREA-CR-ALT-AST-AMILAS. Statistical analysis
was performed using the chi square test and Anova test.
Results: The hematomas rate was 10.5%.Rates elevation of urea and cr was
(27%, 5%). Rate elevation of alt–ast was 12%, and for amylase was 6%, without clear
pathology.
Conclusions: ESWL is an easy, noninvasive, safe and active management of the
urinary stones, and we should be care full with some factors, which can increase its
complications and decrease its activity.
The possibility of using some agents used in traditional medicin .
Neoziland rabbits was used as experimental animals ; Fossil encrinites was used as a
treatment drug ; the disease was induced by injecting 120 mg of sodium glyoxylate intraperitonea
lly .
kidney calculi disease is a common health problem. At least 5% of women and 12% of men during their
lives suffer from kidney stones. Lots of herbal drugs and medicinal preparations are used in our country
in the treatment of kidney stones.
vascular complications are impotent after kidney Transplantation, They
influence on patient and graft survival . There are a lot of factors that play are a role in incidence of these
vascular compilations as technical and anatomical ones .
the aim
is to determine the incidence of vascular complications in kidney transplant
patients in addition to signs and symptoms related to these complications, diagnosis modalities,
management and results.
Extra-corporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has failed to manage renal
stones > 2cm in diameter. Percutaneous nephrolothotomy lithotripsy (PCNL) has proved to be a very
effective alternative. This study is the first study in Syria about PCNL, ref
lecting our own experience.
To review and to evaluate the results of percutaneous lithotripsy (PCNL) for kidney stones, especially in
regard of indications, steps of the procedures and possible complications.
