“…9 Ultrasonography is commonly used in the diagnosis of calicael obstruction, however, dilatation is sometimes not seen with ultrasonography. 1,3,6,23 This might be due to poor vision of renal pelvis and ureter, which are often obscured by bowel gas. False negative might also be caused by dehydration resulting in a low urine output and thus lack of dilatation, 23 which was seen in this patient during the initial ultrasonography.…”

“…1 Bilateral ureteric obstruction because of external compression caused by retroperitoneal fibrosis or malignant disease account for 60% of these cases. [1][2][3][4][5][6] We report an unusual case of acute renal failure secondary to non-dilated bilateral ureteric obstruction from stone disease.…”

“…The raised serum creatinine concentration suggested' the need for urinary tract imaging, which showed bilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureter, though obstructive nephropathy may occur without dilatation of the upper urinary tract. 5 The cause of bladder outflow obstruction was found to be benign prostatic hypertrophy, but malignancy of the prostate or bladder may sometimes be responsible. 6 Once a diagnosis of high pressure chronic retention has been made it is essential to obtain surgical relief of bladder outflow obstruction to prevent further renal damage and to treat the hypertension.…”

Stratégie diagnostique de l’insuffisance rénale aiguë en réanimation

L'insuffisance rénale aiguë (IRA) en réanimation est une entité fréquente, qui s'intègre souvent dans un contexte d'agression rénale aiguë, dont les états de choc sont les principaux pourvoyeurs. Toutefois, l'IRA en réanimation peut être le symptôme d'une pathologie sous-jacente spécifique, dont le diagnostic et la prise en charge représentent un enjeu conditionnant le pronostic fonctionnel et vital du patient. L'objectif de cette revue est de présenter au praticien les différentes étiologies d'IRA en réanimation, avec leurs caracté-ristiques épidémiologiques, cliniques et paracliniques, ainsi que les moyens à sa disposition pour construire sa démarche diagnostique, en discutant leur validité chez le patient agressé de réanimation. L'anamnèse est une étape majeure de la réflexion clinique face à une IRA en réanimation ne s'inté-grant pas dans le concept d'agression rénale aiguë. Enfin, la place et les indications de la ponction-biopsie rénale chez le patient de réanimation seront discutées. Mots clés Insuffisance rénale aiguë · Réanimation · DiagnosticAbstract In the intensive care unit (ICU), most patients with high level of serum creatinine are now considered to have acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI results from several systemic aggressors such as sepsis, shock, or nephrotoxic drug. However, this may not be true in all patients. Indeed some ICU patients may suffer from a more specific form of acute renal failure. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the prognosis of these patients. The aim of this article is to present an overview of renal failure that can be encountered in the ICU setting. It also aims at suggesting a diagnostic strategy taking into account the specificity of the ICU patients. Finally, the indications of renal biopsy in the critically ill patients are discussed.
