Laparoscopic-assisted treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm requiring suprarenal cross-clamping.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) was previously employed to treat patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA). The use of HALS for juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (JAAA) has never been validated. In this study, ... Read more...

Gadolinium-associated nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.

29 Sep 2009 Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a progressive, potentially fatal multiorgan system fibrosing disease related to exposure of patients with renal failure to the gadolinium-based contrast agents used in magnetic resonance imaging. Because of this ... Read more...

An analysis of renal dysfunction in 1511 patients with fractured neck of femur: the implications for peri-operative analgesia.

29 Sep 2009 SUMMARY: Following two deaths from respiratory failure secondary to opioid toxicity in patients admitted for surgical repair of fractured neck of femur, we retrospectively studied the serum urea and electrolyte concentrations of 1511 consecutive ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Renal Insufficiency'

Definition: Conditions in which the KIDNEYS perform below the normal level in the ability to remove wastes, concentrate URINE, and maintain ELECTROLYTE BALANCE; BLOOD PRESSURE; and CALCIUM metabolism. Renal insufficiency can be classified by the degree of kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE. The most severe form is KIDNEY FAILURE. Renal function may deteriorate slowly (RENAL INSUFFICIENCY, CHRONIC) or precipitously (RENAL INSUFFICIENCY, ACUTE).
