Objectives: Renal cysts of the sinuses or parapelvic cysts constitute a rare form of renal cyst, usually associated with low back pain. Symptomatic forms may be treated by percutaneous aspiration, but the treatment of these cysts has changed considerably over recent years due to the proximity of the renal hilum. Percutaneous treatment is now contraindicated due to its high complication rate, and open surgery is an invasive technique. Laparoscopy appears to be the most appropriate and most effective solution.
Patients And Methods: The authors report five cases of parapelvic renal cysts all presenting with renal colic and diagnosed by ultrasound, and confirmed by CT in three cases. Treatment consisted of retroperitoneal laparoscopy using four trocars allowing cyst resection with no intraoperative complications or conversion.
Results: The mean operating time was 55 minutes (range: 40 to 70 minutes). The postoperative course was uneventful and all patients were discharged on postoperative D1 or D2. No recurrence was observed after a mean follow-up of 6 months (range: 3 to 15 months).
Conclusion: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic treatment of parapelvic renal cysts is an effective approach, with a low morbidity and less postoperative pain, a short convalescence period and good cosmetic results.

Emphysematous polycystic renal infection (EPRI) has a poor prognosis with conservative management, and early surgical nephrectomy has been recommended. However, percutaneous cyst drainage may be a possible treatment option. We experienced 6 patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) presenting with EPRI.

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the most frequent genetic renal disease with a complex physiopathology. More and more studies sustain that inflammation plays a crucial role in ADPKD pathogenesis and progression. We evaluated IL-12 involvement in ADPKD pathophysiology by assessing the serum levels of its monomers and heterodimers.

To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypes, diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis of atrophic kidney-like lesion (AKLL). Three cases of AKLL were collected from April 2021 to October 2023 at the Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, Hangzhou and Ningbo Clinical Pathology Diagnosis Center, Ningbo, China. The clinical, morphological, and immunohistochemical characteristics were analyzed.

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of ultrasonography-guided aspiration and sclerotherapy and laparoscopic deroofing for the treatment of simple renal cysts in children, providing evidence for clinical decision-making in the management of pediatric renal cysts.
Methods: A total of 49 patients with simple renal cysts were divided into two groups based on the treatment method: 29 patients (group 1) underwent laparoscopic deroofing, 20 patients (group 2) underwent ultrasonography-guided aspiration and sclerotherapy. The clinical efficacy differences between the two groups were compared.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, contributing factors, and clinical outcomes of acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) in children undergoing kidney replacement therapy (KRT).
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, territory-wide study at the designated pediatric nephrology center in Hong Kong. ACKD was defined as the presence of ≥ 3 cysts in the native kidneys, excluding congenital or hereditary cystic diseases.
