TART was detected exclusively in patients with severe CYP21A2 mutations. Disease regulation plays a role in development of TART that impairs testicular function and increases the risk of infertility. Screening for TART by TU is indicated from early childhood. What is Known: • Due to improved diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities, majority of the male patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia nowadays reach adulthood and screening for long-term complications is becoming more important. • Testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) are common cause of infertility and impaired gonadal function in males with CAH. What is New: • A 1.8-year-old boy described in this paper is the youngest reported patient with TART. • Screening for TART by testicular ultrasound from early childhood, especially in patients with severe CYP21A mutations, is recommended.
SUMMARY – Radiological diagnostic methods have a significant role in the preoperative and postoperative care of patients after kidney transplantation. Improvement and innovations in technology, but also the growing experience of the radiologists who deal with kidney transplant patients as part of the transplant team lead to earlier detection of complications in the postoperative period, which are the leading cause of transplant failure. In this article, we describe, through diagnostic imaging examples, detailed evaluation of all possible complications that can occur after kidney transplantation, with evaluation of different possible diagnostic methods that can be used in the preoperative assessment and postoperative follow up and care of the transplanted patient. The goal of this article is to demonstrate and summarize in detail the possible complications of renal transplantation and how to best diagnostically approach them, with special reference to ultrasound which is the main imaging method for this group of conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
