Appendectomies in patients with nephritis

W E Said

    International Urology and Nephrology
    |January 1, 1976

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A history of appendectomy was common in renal clinic patients. Right-sided pyelonephritis may be misdiagnosed as appendicitis, risking acute renal failure after unnecessary surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Renal clinics manage patients with kidney disease.
    • Appendectomy is a common surgical procedure.

    Observation:

    • A retrospective study analyzed 150 renal clinic patient records.
    • A 10% incidence of prior appendectomy was noted.

    Findings:

    • Acute pyelonephritis, particularly right-sided, can mimic appendicitis.
    • Misdiagnosis may lead to unnecessary appendectomies.

    Implications:

    • Consider renal pathology in atypical appendicitis presentations.
    • Unnecessary appendectomy can precipitate acute renal failure in undiagnosed chronic kidney disease.
