Staging of renal pelvic urothelial carcinoma can be challenging due to anatomic variation at the renal pelvis compared with ureter and bladder and calls into question the prognostic accuracy of the current TNM staging. In this study, we determined staging and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in 141 patients undergoing nephroureterectomy for renal pelvic urothelial carcinoma (pTa=50, pT1=29, pT2=10, pT3=36, and pT4=16). Under current staging criteria, we found no significant difference in CSS between adjacent staging categories step-wise across pTa, pT1, pT2, and pT3 tumors.

The intrarenal reflux is caused by impaired emptying of the renal pelvis, that leads to increased intrarenal pressure. Increased pelvis pressure can be the result of a variety of states. The most common causes are acute upper urinary tract obstruction or overfilling of the pelvis during retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) or retrograde pyelography.

Background: Lymphangiogenesis is believed to be a protective response in the setting of multiple forms of kidney injury and mitigates the progression of interstitial fibrosis. To augment this protective response, promoting kidney lymphangiogenesis is being investigated as a potential treatment to slow the progression of kidney disease. As injury-related lymphangiogenesis is driven by signaling from the receptor VEGFR3 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3) in response to the cognate growth factor VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor)-C released by tubular epithelial cells, this signaling pathway is a candidate for future kidney therapeutics.

The aim of the present study was to compare flexible ureteroscopy and laparoscopy in the treatment of peripelvic renal cysts, so as to determine the best treatment method for patients with peripelvic renal cysts. A systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CONAHL, Clinicaltrials.gov, Google Scholar, CNKI and WanFang DATA databases was conducted for articles published over 22 years (December 1980-December 2022) using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines.

Bilateral renal lymphangiectasia: Literature review of a rare entity.

Article Synopsis
  • Renal lymphangiectasia (RL) is a rare condition characterized by dilated lymphatic vessels leading to cysts in various kidney locations, and its understanding largely stems from individual case reports.
  • The condition can be genetic or acquired, affects individuals of any gender or age, and often presents as abdominal or flank pain, being either focal or diffuse and unilateral or bilateral.
  • Diagnosis relies on imaging techniques, and while treatment is typically conservative, there is a need for long-term monitoring for complications like hypertension and renal vein thrombosis; a case of bilateral RL is discussed alongside a literature review.
