Duplex Ultrasound-guided Direct Percutaneous Management of Pseudoaneurysm of Branch of Segmental Renal Artery: Technique and Its Outcome.

Objective: To describe the role of duplex ultrasound imaging (DUI) in prompt diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm (PSA) of a branch of the segmental renal artery (b-SRA) and to evaluate outcomes of DUI directed percutaneous embolization.

Materials And Methods: Forty-five patients were referred to us for the management of intractable renal hematuria. A total of 20 cases (44.

Vitamin D levels and other biochemical parameters of mineral bone disorders and their association with diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular mass in young nondiabetic adult patients with chronic kidney disease.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. Chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated cardiovascular mortality is more prevalent in those with diastolic heart failure and is an early predictor, while increased left ventricular mass (LVM) is a strong independent risk factor. Hypovitaminosis D is extensively being studied as a nontraditional risk factor for CVD.
