We followed up 61 children with urate nephropathies. Of them there were 34 children aged from 1 to 7 years, from 8 to 14 years - 27. Dysmetabolic nephropathy proper, characterized by minimal clinical and laboratory manifestations, was diagnosed in 13 patients, interstitial nephritis of dysmetabolic genesis - in 18, secondary pyelonephritis developed against the background of disturbed purine metabolism - in 30, pyelonephritis due to urolithiasis - in 3.

The results of examination of 70 patients with urinary syndrome as oxaliccalcic and uratic crystalluria and in the projection of pelvic system by ultrasonic examination data were analyzed. The study of partial functions of kidneys, purine and oxalic metabolism was performed to estimate hypertension syndrome in patients with dysmetabolic disorders. The comparison of patients with arterial hypertension (15) and normotonia (55) showed the changes in the first group as fast development of dysmetabolic disorders and significant disorder of purine metabolism. The data obtained show the relation between hypertension and interstitial nephritis activity.

The article presents the clinician's view on general diagnostic and differential diagnostic approaches when analyzing data of the urine test in patients with nephrological, therapeutic and urological pathology. Features of the urinary syndrome are examined in detail depending on the presence, degree and severity of haematuria, leukocyturia, proteinuria, cylindruria in various diseases. Moments of diagnosis and clinical examination of patients with urolithiasis, kidney and urinary tract tumors, urinary tract tuberculosis, renal vascular anomalies, cystic dysplasia, and nephroptosis are described in detail in addition to traditional chronic kidney diseases (glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, interstitial nephritis).

Tubulo-interstitial nephritis (TIN) in patients affected by inflammatory bowel disease, both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, is usually considered as drug-associated to aminosalicylate. We report a rare case of granulomatous active tubulo-interstitial nephritis in a young patient with a recent diagnosis of ulcerative colitis naïve to aminosalicylate treatment. The patient has been successfully treated with steroids administration. Our purpose is to sensitize that TIN should always to be considered in differential diagnosis an extra-intestinal manifestation of bowel disease.

The broadest application of transmission electron microscopy (EM) in diagnostic medicine is the identification of tumors that cannot be classified by routine light microscopy. EM is useful in the evaluation of approximately 10% of human neoplasms, but the extent of its contribution varies considerably. It may provide a specific diagnosis that can not be reached by other means, but in contrast, the information obtained from ultrastructural study of some 10% of tumors does not significantly add to that available from light microscopy. Most cases fall somewhere between these two extremes: EM may correct a light microscopic diagnosis, or serve to narrow a differential diagnosis by excluding some of the possibilities considered by light microscopy. It is particularly important to correlate the EM findings with data from light microscopy, clinical examination, and other diagnostic procedures.

Healthcare professionals require a thorough understanding of stuttering since they frequently play an important role in the identification and differential diagnosis of stuttering for preschool children. This paper introduces The Preschool Stuttering Screen for Healthcare Professionals (PSSHP) which highlights risk factors identified in the literature as being associated with persistent stuttering. By integrating the results of the checklist with a child’s developmental profile, healthcare professionals can make better-informed, evidence-based decisions for their patients.
