Renal autotransplantation: transfer of the left kidney from its original location into the body to another location to prevent venous compression. [ 6 ] Nephrectomy: in cases involving failed surgical treatments or individuals who do not wish to undergo open surgeries, removing the kidney via laparoscopy for altruistic donation is an option.
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the narrowing of one or both of the renal arteries, most often caused by atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia.This narrowing of the renal artery can impede blood flow to the target kidney, resulting in renovascular hypertension – a secondary type of high blood pressure.
the causes for this condition are the following: [citation needed] Obstruction by deep vein thrombosis or tumors (most commonly renal cell carcinoma); Compression through external pressure by neighbouring structures or tumors, either by significantly compressing the vein or by promoting thrombosis by causing turbulence by disturbing the blood flow.
Page kidney or Page phenomena is a potentially reversible form of secondary arterial hypertension caused by external compression of the renal parenchyma by some perirenal process. [1] Any process that causes mass effect can be a potential cause of Page kidney.
The increased intra-abdominal pressure leads to compression of the renal veins, which, in turn, to an oliguria that is unresponsive to fluid resuscitation. Diagnosis should be based on clinical findings in conjunction with a measurement of a bladder pressure. The trend of the bladder pressure may be more helpful than the absolute number. [12]
Any external compression (tourniquet, orthopedic casts or dressings applied on the affected limb) should be removed. Cutting of the cast will reduce the intracompartmental pressure by 65%, followed by 10 to 20% pressure reduction once padding is cut. After removal of the external compression the limb should be placed at the level of the heart.
Patients who have undergone kidney transplant have a high risk of developing RVT (about 0.4% to 6%). RVT is known to account for a large proportion of transplanted kidney failures due to technical problems (damage to the renal vein), clotting disorders, diabetes, consumption of ciclosporin or an unknown problem. Patients who have undergone a ...
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a US system of medical classification used for procedural coding.The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency responsible for maintaining the inpatient procedure code set in the U.S., contracted with 3M Health Information Systems in 1995 to design and then develop a procedure classification system to replace Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM.
