Recovery of radiologically functionless obstructed kidneys.

A Ibrahim, A H Fahal

    British Journal of Urology
    |April 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Urinary pH impacts kidney obstruction recovery. Good recovery was seen in kidneys with pH 6.0 or less, while higher pH levels showed limited or no recovery after obstruction correction.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Unilateral kidney obstruction can lead to non-functioning kidneys.
    • Assessing recovery potential in obstructed kidneys is crucial for patient management.
    • Urinary pH is a potential factor influencing kidney recovery post-obstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between urinary pH and radiological recovery in unilaterally obstructed kidneys.
    • To determine if pre-operative urinary pH predicts post-operative outcomes in obstructed kidneys.

    Main Methods:

    • Eleven patients with unilaterally obstructed, non-functioning kidneys were studied.
    • Kidneys were grouped based on urinary pH at operation: Group 1 (≤6.0), Group 2 (6.1-7.1), and Group 3 (>7.1).
    • Obstruction was surgically corrected, and radiological recovery was assessed two months post-operatively.

    Main Results:

    • All patients underwent successful obstruction correction.
    • Group 1 (pH ≤6.0) showed good radiological recovery in all cases.
    • Group 2 (pH 6.1-7.1) had variable recovery (good, moderate, absent).
    • Group 3 (pH >7.1) demonstrated no radiological recovery.

    Conclusions:

    • Urinary pH is a significant predictor of radiological recovery in obstructed kidneys.
    • Lower urinary pH (≤6.0) is associated with favorable recovery outcomes.
    • Higher urinary pH levels (>7.1) indicate a poor prognosis for kidney recovery after obstruction relief.
