  • The Role of Intravenous Urography with Erect Film and Retrograde

Ghanem1* 1Department of Urology, Mansoura University Hospital, Egypt 2Department of Urology, Barts & The Royal London NHS Trust Royal London Hospital, Egypt 3Department of Urology, North Middlesex University Hospital, Egypt Abstract Introduction and objectives: To report the role of intravenous urography with erect film (IVU-E) and retrograde pyelography (RGP) in resolving the puzzle of Loin Pain and Haematuria Syndrome (LPHS) by revealing its patho-etiological overlooked link with Symptomatic Nephroptosis (SN). We demonstrate that renal pedicle stretch causes neuro-ischaemia as evidenced by the new IVU 7 sign and the damaged renal medullary papilla shown on RGP. Materials and methods: Images are reported from a series of 190 SN patients. Repeated standard imaging was invariably normal, when supine. However, 190 patients demonstrated SN of > 1.5 vertebrae on repeating IVU-E. Of whom 36 (18.9%) patients developed recurrent episodes of painful hematuria for which no organic pathology was detected on all standard imaging, when supine- thus fitting the definition of LPHS.

It cleans 180 liters of liquid per day, retaining the good stuff and expelling the bad. Most fortuitously, humans are born with two kidneys. If one of them becomes damaged, the other one can pick up the slack. If both your kidneys fail, however, your body will be filled with harmful toxins.
