Introduction: Membranous nephropathy can lead to end-stage kidney disease, for which kidney transplantation is the preferred therapy. However, the disease often relapses, which can impact allograft survival.
Methods: We conducted a prospective multicenter study in France involving 72 patients with membranous nephropathy who were awaiting and then underwent kidney transplantation.
Article Synopsis
- High extracellular fluid volume (ECV) in kidney transplant recipients is linked to increased mortality and decreased kidney function (mGFR).
- A study of 2057 kidney transplant recipients found that factors like gender, age, diabetes, and heart issues were associated with higher ECV.
- Elevated ECV three months post-transplant predicts reduced kidney function at 12 months but does not correlate with loss of the transplant itself.
Article Synopsis
- - Primary hyperoxalurias (PH) are rare genetic disorders that can lead to significant diagnostic delays, adversely affecting patient health outcomes.
- - A study of 52 patients revealed that adults experienced much longer diagnostic delays (30 years on average) compared to children (1.2 years), with renal colic being the main symptom for adults.
- - The findings highlight the need for greater awareness among healthcare professionals about these conditions to improve early detection and management, despite existing support structures for rare diseases.
Purpose: To assess the technical success, safety and early efficacy of Morton neuroma (MN) cryoneurolysis.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective review of 54 consecutive patients with MN treated with cryoneurolysis after failure of conservative treatment, from September 2022 to June 2023. Outcomes measurements included technical success (defined a successful ultrasound-guided placement of the cryoprobe), procedural safety according to Cirse classification and change in 6 months post-procedure by pain numeric rating scale (pNRS).
Kidney cancer accounts for 3% of adult malignancies and is increasingly detected through advanced imaging techniques, highlighting the need for effective treatment strategies. This retrospective study assessed the safety and efficacy of a new single-probe percutaneous cryoablation system using liquid nitrogen for treating T1a renal cancers. From May 2019 to May 2022, 25 consecutive patients from two academic hospitals, with a median age of 64.
