Abstract:
We report three cases of primary renal tumors occurring on post-transplant kidneys, after a delay of 4, 8 and 12 years respectively following transplantation in a population of 1134 post kidney transplant followed at our institution. All three tumors underwent early detection because of the yearly ultrasound evaluation recommended for all post kidney transplant patients. The diagnosis was suggested by CT in all three cases but confirmed by preoperative percutaneous biopsy in two cases. The final pathology results confirmed two cases of clear cell renal carcinomas and one case of oncocytoma. Tumorectomy was undertaken for all three patients with successful results in two cases and return to hemodialysis in the third patient with a 4 cm tumor with mass effect on the collecting system.

Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...

Glomerulus: Structure and Function
The glomerulus is a tiny, intricate network of capillaries located at the beginning of the nephron. It's enveloped by the Bowman's capsule and receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole, which divides into numerous...
Renal Clearance
Renal clearance refers to the volume of plasma cleared of a specific substance, such as creatinine, per unit of time. To measure clearance, urine samples are collected over a 24-hour period during each bladder voiding, followed by a single blood sample at the...
