  4. 2. Development of Salt-Sensitive Hypertension in Hydronephrosis

    Author : Mattias Carlström; Erik Persson; Nils Wåhlin; Russell Brown; Göran Bergström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Physiology; blood pressure; nephrectomy; nitric oxide; oxidative stress; renal function; renin angiotensin system; salt-sensitivity; telemetry; tubuloglomerular feedback; ureteral obstruction; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Hydronephrosis, due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction, is a common condition in infants with an incidence of approximately 0.5-1%. During the last decade, the surgical management of non-symptomatic hydronephrosis has become more conservative, and the long-term physiological consequences of this new policy are unclear. READ MORE

  5. 3. Longitudinal study of infants with high-grade vesicoureteral reflux

    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vesico-ureteral reflux; congenital; infant; kidney function tests; renal insufficiency; urinary tract infections; bladder; urodynamics; spontaneous resolution; multivariate analyses;

    Abstract : Background: Infants with congenital high-grade vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) have been regarded as a special group amongst children with reflux, with their own characteristics concerning renal damage, gender, resolution rate and causative mechanism. A dysfunctional bladder has been suggested to be associated with the condition. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hydronephrosis in childhood : An experimental and clinical study
