Activities of main components of KKS were estimated in the urine of patients with latent, nephrotic and hypertonic forms of chronic glomerulonephritis (ChGN) and compared to those parameters in urine of healthy persons. The data obtained allow to make a conclusion concerning the pathogenetic and the compensatory role of plasma KKS in the nephrotic form of ChGN.

The superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) contains afferent nociceptive fibers from the pelvic structures, thus the SHP block is employed in the chronic pelvic pain (CPP) treatment in patients who do not respond to conservative treatments. A 60-year-old female patient, who did not respond to conservative treatment, underwent SHP neurolytic block after a successful diagnostic block. An excessive oblique angle approach was applied due to physical restrictions, the needle passed through the intervertebral disc resulting in the contralateral side SHP block, and the procedure was also repeated to the other side SHP.
