1. Both focal and diffuse glomerulitis has been produced in rabbits by the injection directly into the left renal artery of suspensions of heat killed hemolytic streptococci. 2. Similar lesions in the glomeruli could not be obtained by the injection of suspensions of bismuth oxychloride into the left renal artery of normal rabbits. 3. The acute glomerulitis occurred in only about one-half of the rabbits employed for the experiments. 4. Glomerulitis was observed much more frequently in rabbits in which an acute localized streptococcus infection had been produced by the intracutaneous injection of living hemolytic streptococci, than in normal rabbits. The occurrence of acute glomerulitis was usually associated with a well marked skin reaction to the filtrates of hemolytic streptococci.

For the present study a number of 5 female chinchilla carcasses were used. The animals were slaughtered for commercial purpuses (fur). The anatomical dissection started with the identification of the aorta (Aorta abdominalis). The next step was the intra-arterial injection of a colouring substance. The carcasses was fixed in the formaldehyde solution and subsequently the renal arteries were dissected. The first renal artery was the right renal artery (Arteria renalis dextra) and, at 0,5 cm caudally, the left renal artery (Arteria renalis sinister) arose . The origin of those arteries were disposed on the lateral part of the abdominal aorta.The origin, traject and distribution of renal arteries on the studied species have a high degree of similarity with the literature dates described for leporids.

Adrenal Pheochromocytoma

Large adrenal pheochromocytomas encasing the renal artery are a rare entity. The management of such challenging cases is surgical resection. The involvement of renal tissue and renal artery may necessitate meticulous dissection and concomitant nephrectomy. Here, we present a case of 41-year-old man diagnosed with left adrenal pheochromocytoma with complete encasement of left renal artery and partial encasement of aorta. Open left adrenalectomy and nephrectomy was performed after adequate preoperative optimisation. The patient is doing well at 6-month follow-up. Large adrenal pheochromocytoma with renal involvement is a rare presentation and requires optimal preoperative imaging, adequate preoperative alpha and beta blockade and meticulous surgical technique.

Abstract Background and Aims Renal transplantation is considered the most effective and less costly modality of renal replacement therapy in patients with end stage renal disease. The disparity between kidney allografts and recipients has led to a global effort to increase the pool of kidney donors. Accordingly, fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is no longer considered an absolute contraindication for kidney donation. The incidence of FMD is about 2.3%-5.8% in potential kidney donors. There are few cases in the literature where renal artery stenosis in allografts with known pre-transplantation FMD became worse after transplantation, indicating the importance of a proper follow up in the recipients. This is a case of a living kidney donor with no history of hypertension, proteinuria or elevated serum creatinine, whose intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography revealed FMD lesions in the left renal artery. Method Case report Results A 54-year-old Caucasian female with medical history of hypothyroidism took the decision to offer her kidney to her 37-year-old son who was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease five years ago secondary to diabetes mellitus type I. She had no history for diabetes, hypertension and renal disease. Her vital signs on admission were heart rate of 78 beats/min and blood pressure of 130/70 mmHg. Urinalysis, biochemical profile and serological evaluations were all within normal ranges. Blood urea was 36 mg/dL and serum creatinine was 0.6 mg/dL (eGFR 97ml/min/1.73m2). The abdominal ultrasound and renogram with Tc-99m DTPA showed no remarkable findings. On intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography an abnormal succession of dilatations and multifocal stenoses of the left renal artery, characteristic of medial FMD, was found. The right renal artery was normal. Apart from a dysfunctional permanent left femoral catheter, the patient had no other vascular access for hemodialysis because of Superior Vena Cava syndrome, so he needed urgent transplantation. Taking all of these into consideration, the patient was offered renal transplantation as the best option. A left open donor nephrectomy was performed; the renal artery was divided distal to the stenotic dysplastic area. The allograft was placed at the right iliac fossa of the recipient with arterial and venous anastomosis to the extrarenal iliac vessels. Post-operatively, the recipient had a delayed graft function lasted 13 days. On renal artery Doppler in the allograft we found increased resistance index (RI) that gradually normalized without any intervention. An immunosuppressive regiment of tacrolimus, mycophenolate and prednisone was administered according to our center protocol. At discharge serum creatinine was 1.7 mg/dL (eGFR: 50ml/min/1.73m2). At the year follow-up, the donor was normotensive and had near normal renal function (Cr:1.3mg/dL, eGFR: 70ml/min/1.73m2). The recipient has a well-controlled blood pressure receiving two antihypertensive drugs and maintains a satisfactory renal function. Conclusion Few cases with FMD in renal allografts from living and deceased donors have been described. In a review of 4 studies the authors concluded that the outcome of transplantation with allografts from living donors with medial FMD was satisfactory and these allografts could be used to increase the donor pool. Furthermore, it is strongly recommended to have a thorough pre-transplantation check of the donor as well as a close monitoring of both the donor and recipient after transplantation. This case shows that allografts harvested from carefully selected donors with renal arterial FMD can be successfully used, particularly in urgent conditions. Detailed pre-tranplantation imaging of donor’s renal arteries, selection of the appropriate screening method, as well as close monitoring of both donor and recipient for early interventions after transplantation is of paramount importance.

In the present study, we tested the direct effects of endothelin (ET) on rat kidney in vivo. ET was infused into the left renal artery of anesthetized rats at a rate of 0.5, 5, 20, or 40 pmol/h. ET reduced ipsilateral urine volume (V), clearance of inulin (CIN), and clearance of p-aminohippuric acid (CPAH) in a dose-dependent manner. Thus ET at 20 pmol/h did not change V but decreased renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by 27.6 +/- 14.3 and 30.8 +/- 10.4%, respectively, in the ipsilateral kidney. ET at 0.5 pmol/h was without effect and at 5 pmol/h had only minor effects on CIN and CPAH of ipsilateral kidney. At 40 pmol/h, ET reduced ipsilateral V, GFR, and RPF by 52.3 +/- 21.4, 58.4 +/- 14.5, and 72.5 +/- 10.6%, respectively. Filtration fraction and fractional excretion of Na remained unchanged during ET infusion. ET, 40 pmol/h, infused into the renal artery together with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) at a rate of 12 pmol/h reduced the ipsilateral V, GFR, and RPF by 33.2 +/- 6.3, 26.1 +/- 6.0, and 27.2 +/- 7.1%, respectively, decrements less than those with ET alone. When a calcium-channel blocker nicardipine was infused at a rate of 2.5 micrograms/h into the renal artery together with ET, 20 pmol/h, there was little change in the ipsilateral V, RPF, and GFR; ET, 40 pmol/h, with nicardipine did not change V and decreased GFR and RPF by 25.9 +/- 5.6 and 23.1 +/- 10.8%, respectively, decrements less than those without nicardipine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Purpose: To quantify deformations of renal arteries and snorkel stents after snorkel endovascular aneurysm sealing (Sn-EVAS) resulting from cardiac pulsatility and respiration and compare these deformations to patients with untreated abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and snorkel endovascular aneurysm repair (Sn-EVAR). Materials and Methods: Ten Sn-EVAS patients (mean age 75±6 years; 8 men) were scanned with cardiac-gated, respiration-resolved computed tomography angiography. From 3-dimensional geometric models, changes in renal artery and stent angulation and curvature due to cardiac pulsatility and respiration were quantified. Respiration-induced motions were compared with those of 16 previously reported untreated AAA patients and 11 Sn-EVAR patients. Results: Renal artery bending at the stent end was greater for respiratory vs cardiac influences (6°±7° vs −1°±2°, p<0.025). Respiration caused a 3-fold greater deformation on the left renal artery as compared with the right side. Maximum curvature change was higher for respiratory vs cardiac influences (0.49±0.29 vs 0.24±0.17 cm−1, p<0.025), and snorkel renal stents experienced similar maximum curvature change due to cardiac pulsatility and respiration (0.14±0.10 vs 0.19±0.09 cm−1, p=0.142). When comparing the 3 patient cohorts for respiratory-induced deformation, there was significant renal branch angulation in untreated AAAs, but not in Sn-EVAR or Sn-EVAS, and there was significant bending at the stent end in Sn-EVAR and Sn-EVAS. Maximum curvature change due to respiration was ~10-fold greater in Sn-EVAR and Sn-EVAS compared to untreated AAAs. Conclusion: The findings suggest that cardiac and respiratory influences may challenge the mechanical durability of snorkel stents of Sn-EVAS; similarly, however, respiration may be the primary culprit for tissue irritation, increasing the risk for stent-end thrombosis, especially in the left renal artery. The bending stiffness of snorkel stents in both the Sn-EVAR and Sn-EVAS cohorts damped renal branch angulation while it intensified bending of the artery distal to the snorkel stent. Understanding these device-to-artery interactions is critical as they may affect mechanical durability of branch stents and quality and durability of treatment.
