Kidney Structure

69.8K
The kidneys are two large bean-shaped organs located in the upper abdomen. They filter the blood several times a day to remove toxins and rebalance water and electrolytes of the circulatory system via the renal veins. The kidneys receive blood directly from the heart via the renal arteries. These arteries enter the kidney at the hilum, the concave surface of the bean, where they branch and divide into smaller vessels and capillaries.

The kidneys are intricate organs with millions of working units known as nephrons. Each nephron features two major structures: the renal corpuscle, which facilitates blood plasma filtration, and the renal tubule, which handles the glomerular filtrate. Blood supply is directly linked to the nephrons. The renal corpuscle consists of the glomerulus, a capillary network, and the Bowman's capsule, a double-walled epithelial structure that encases the glomerulus. The filtering of blood plasma...

Summary

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) achieves a 70.77% stone-free rate in patients with anatomically anomalous kidneys. Careful surgical technique is crucial for successful outcomes in these complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nephrology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Anatomical kidney anomalies present unique challenges for kidney stone treatment.
  • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common procedure for kidney stones.
  • Assessing PCNL efficacy in anomalous kidneys is critical for surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the stone-free rate (SFR) after PCNL in patients with anatomically anomalous kidneys.
  • To determine the safety and effectiveness of PCNL in this specific patient population.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted with 65 patients (aged 18-60) diagnosed with renal stone disease and abnormal kidney anatomy.
  • Data collected included patient demographics, stone characteristics, and type of renal anomaly.
  • Stone-free status was assessed two weeks post-PCNL using KUB ultrasound.

Main Results:

  • The overall stone-free rate (SFR) following PCNL in patients with anomalous kidneys was 70.77% (46/65).
  • Residual fragments were observed in 29.23% (19/65) of patients, with most residual stones being smaller than 3 cm.
  • Common anatomical variations included malrotated kidneys (46.2%), horseshoe kidneys (16.9%), and partial duplex systems (16.9%).

Conclusions:

  • PCNL is a safe and effective treatment for kidney stones in patients with anatomically anomalous kidneys.
  • Achieving satisfactory stone-free rates requires meticulous surgical skill and careful operative planning.
  • Further management for residual fragments included Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) or repeat PCNL.
