The objective of this work is to develop and implement a computer-aided decision support system for an automated diagnosis and classification of ultrasound kidney images. This approach combines ...

The remainder of the renal cortex was soft and yellow, and contained multiple indistinct soft tan yellow areas similar to the mass-like lesion. The renal papillae were erythaematous and there were ...

An ultrasound scan of the kidneys confirmed the presence of an avascular cortical cyst in the right kidney measuring 48×50×48 mm. Subsequent blood sent for genetic analysis identified the heterozygous ...

One might point that IgG4-related kidney disease occurred with simple renal cyst in this case. However, simple renal cyst generally arises from proximal origin [ 9] and she has never detected ...

After excision the left kidney was halved by a single cut along its mid-sagittal plane. Twelve intact cortical and medullary cysts protruding from the cut surfaces of the kidney were identified ...

First and foremost, we demonstrate a dramatic exacerbation of cortical cyst formation and rapid progression to kidney failure in salt-restricted ARPKD rats. Then, we show evidence that Epithelial Na + ...

Figure 1 – (a-d) Tomographic images of radiofrequency ablation of Bosniak IV cystic lesion. CT without intravenous contrast (a) and post contrast (b) shows the hypoattenuation lesion in the left ...

NEW research has noted an association between kidney cysts with progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk, following radical nephrectomy. Partial nephrectomy is the removal of part of the kidney, ...

Among patients who undergo radical nephrectomy for kidney cancer, those who have cysts in the remaining kidney are at increased risk for progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD), investigators report.

Examining 1,195 patients post-radical nephrectomy, this study suggests that kidney cysts, especially in the medulla, may serve as valuable imaging biomarkers for progressive chronic kidney disease.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common form of polycystic kidney disease, can lead to kidney enlargement and eventual loss of function. The disease affects more than 12 ...
