“…In our study, we observed that the most common final histopathological diagnosis was chroni c pyeloneph ritis seen in 79.38% cas es. These finding correlated with those observ ed by Divyashree et.al [2] and Shreedh ar et.al [9] who observed chronic pyelon ephritis in 84% and 71% cases resp ectively. The most common underlying cause o f chronic pyelon ephritis was calculus obstructive uropathy (39.27%).…”

Introduction: Nephrectomies are an integral part o f u rological p ractice and a wide rang e o f ren al diseas es are s een on histopathological examination o f non-n eoplastic n ephrectomy specimens. Objective: The objective o f this study was to assess the incidence, clinical presentation and the histological spectrum o f various non-neoplastic ren al diseases det ected in nephrectomy specimens at our institute and to compare our observations with the conventional patterns seen. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective 6 year study of adult non-neoplastic nephrectomies (ANNN) conduct ed in a tertiary care centre in Mumbai and includes 359 cases from January 2009 to Decemb er 2015. The paraffin blocks and slides were retriev ed from our archives and analys ed along with clinical features, radiological findings. Results: 359 ANNN specimens received ov er a 6 y ear p eriod were studied. Most of the patients were in the sixth decade with a slight female preponderance. Flank pain was the commonest presenting symptom seen in 79.94% of cas es. The most frequent surgical indication fo r ANNN was obstru ctive urop athy (47.08%) which in cludes calculus disease and PUJ obstruction followed by non-fun ctioning kidney (42.06%). On histopathological examination, the most common gross pathology was acal culus hydronephrosis (40.67%) and the most frequ ent histopathological diagnosis was chronic pyelon ephritis seen in 79.38% cases. Calculus obstructive uropathy amounted to 39.27% cases and acalculus obstructive urop athy amounted to 25.07% cases of ch ronic pyeloneph ritis. Conclusion: The most frequent surgical indication was obstructive uropathy and the most common histopathological diagnosis was chronic pyelonephritis. Calculus and acalculus obstructive uropathy amounted to almost 65% of the cases o f chronic pyeloneph ritis.

Objective: To evaluate open nephrectomies performed in adults over a five year period at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) and to compare our experience with findings in the literature. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional, hospital based study of all adults undergoing nephrectomy from October 2012 to September 2017 at KATH. We obtained data on patient demographics, clinical presentation, laboratory and imaging results, laterality of the disease, and indication for nephrectomy, complications and histopathology of nephrectomy specimen. The data was analyzed using PASW Statistics for Windows, Version 19.0. Chicago: SPSS Inc. Results: Thirty three (33) adult nephrectomies were performed over the study period. There were 18 males (54.50%) and 15 females (45.50%) with an age range of 16 years to 80 years. The modal age range for renal malignancies was 31-40 years accounting for 36.40% of adult nephrectomies. Flank pain (75.80%), haematuria (54.60%) and flank mass (51.50%) were the predominant presenting complaints. Malignant renal tumours accounted for 22 (66.70%) of the nephrectomies followed by neglected Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction (PUJO)-7 (21.20%); two (6.10%) nephrectomies were due to trauma and one (3.00%) for emphysematous pyelonephritis. Conclusion: Renal cell carcinoma constitutes the main indication for adult nephrectomy at KATH followed by neglected PUJO. Most of the patients with renal tumours were young and also presented late.
