Rupture of Renal Angiomyolipoma Post Fibrinolysis: A rare complication of fibrinolytic therapy.

Angiomyolipoma is a common benign solid tumour that accounts for up to 3% of all renal tumours; most of the cases are sporadic. However, it can be part of other diseases. Angiomyolipomas are usually found incidentally through unrelated clinically indicated images but also, they can be diagnosed after complications have occurred.

Superior vena cava syndrome-induced hemoptysis.

Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome resulting from obstruction of the blood flow to the superior vena cava is rarely reported to present with life-threatening hemoptysis. The pathogenesis and the underlying mechanism are still not well described in the literature. We report a unique case of a 27-year-old man known to have end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on hemodialysis that presented with shortness of breath and life-threatening hemoptysis that developed during the dialysis session.

Emphysematous Pyelonephritis Disparities observed in the use of percutaneous drainage techniques.

Objectives: The recent drop in the mortality rates of emphysematous pyelonephritis, a serious medical condition, is attributable to renal percutaneous drainage (PCD) techniques that have also reduced the necessity for surgery. Since the difference in the objectives of the two specific techniques, i.e.

May-Thurner Syndrome: A Case Report and a Concise Review.

We report a case of a 31-year-oldman who presented to the hospital with extensive deep vein thrombosis (DVT) complicated by pulmonary embolism (PE) after a recent trauma and prolonged immobilization. He underwent contrast venography that revealed features of May-Thurner syndrome (MTS). He was managed with therapeutic anticoagulation, inferior vena cava filter placement, mechanical clot aspiration, catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy, and left common iliac vein stenting.

Ultrasound Measurement and Kidney Development: a Mini-Review for Nephrologists.

Ultrasound (US) is a noninvasive, simple and safe imaging investigation that can be done as many times as needed. Therefore, it is the primary imaging modality for evaluating kidneys. We carried out a literature review of information about ultrasonography for clinicians, especially nephrologists.

Inferior Vena Cava Filter Placement in a Duplicated Inferior Vena Cava: A Case Report.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) duplication is a well-known anatomic variation that is important when relevant procedures are being planned. Duplication of IVC is a relatively rare to detect especially vascular anomaly with a prevalence of 1.5% (range 0.
