Hydronephrosis is a condition that occurs when a kidney swells and can't get rid of pee (urine) like it should. This swelling typically happens when urine cannot drain out from the kidney to the bladder due to a blockage or obstruction. Hydronephrosis can occur in one or both kidneys. Over time, kidney function can decrease, leading to possible

Intravenous iodinated contrast media are commonly used with CT to evaluate disease and to determine treatment response. The risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) developing in patients with reduced kidney function following exposure to intravenous iodinated contrast media has been overstated. This is due primarily to historic lack of control groups sufficient to separate contrast-induced AKI (CI

Acute tubular necrosis ( ATN) is a medical condition involving the death of tubular epithelial cells that form the renal tubules of the kidneys. Because necrosis is often not present, the term acute tubular injury (ATI) is preferred by pathologists over the older name acute tubular necrosis (ATN). [1] ATN presents with acute kidney injury (AKI

AKI, previously known as acute renal failure (ARF), is an acute decline in renal function, leading to a rise in serum creatinine and/or a fall in urine output. [1] The change in terminology emphasizes that kidney injury presents as a disease spectrum from mild renal impairment to severe renal failure.

Acute glomerulonephritis is an acute kidney injury (AKI) syndrome characterized by the sudden onset of edema and new-onset or worsening hypertension. Urinalysis demonstrates an active sediment, including abnormal proteinuria (usually >30 mg/dL or 1+ on a semiquantitative scale), hematuria, and red cell casts.

AKI among hospitalized patients is variable and depends on multiple factors including study design, population characteristics, definition of AKI, time of reporting and geographical location. In our cohort, the diagnosis of AKI was made in 1.11% of hospitalized patients. We have used the ICD-9-CM coding to identify cases of AKI. ICD-9-CM

Key Points. Renal tubular acidosis is a class of disorders in which excretion of hydrogen ions or reabsorption of filtered bicarbonate is impaired, leading to a chronic metabolic acidosis with a normal anion gap. RTA is usually due to abnormal aldosterone production or response (type 4), or less often, due to impaired hydrogen ion excretion
