Diagnosis & Disease Information
Radiofrequency Ablation, Partial Nephrectomy for RCC Offer Similar Long-Term Outcomes
In appropriately selected patients, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective minimally invasive treatment for cT1a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that offers long-term oncologic outcomes comparable to nephron-sparing surgery, data show.
Ultrasound Not Inferior for Sizing Renal Masses
Ultrasound imaging works as well as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluating renal mass size, a new study suggests.
Myocardial Infarctions Frequently Unrecognized in Kidney Disease Patients
Myocardial infarction (MI) often goes unrecognized in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and it is associated with a significantly increased risk of death, according to researchers.
Increased Lead Exposure May Raise Kidney Cancer Risk
Higher blood lead levels are associated with an elevated risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), according to a study.
Minimally Invasive Surgery for Prostate Cancer Increasing, Offers Better Results
Use of minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP) for patients with prostate cancer (PCa) increased and the use of retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) decreased significantly from 2003 to 2007, a study found.
Race Differences in Dialysis Survival Linked to Inflammation
Differences in the level of inflammation among dialysis patients may explain, in part, why African Americans have better survival than Caucasians, study findings suggest.
Repeated Toxin Injections Safe and Effective for Refractory Overactive Bladder
Repeated injections of botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA) are safe and effective for the medium-term management of refractory overactive bladder (OAB) and idiopathic detrusor overactivity (IDO), according to British investigators.
Enterococcal UTIs May Signal Underlying Urinary Problems in Children
Community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children caused by enterococcal bacteria are associated with a high rate of underlying urinary abnormalities, a study found.
PSA Threshold for Biopsy Remains Stable
A widely used PSA threshold for recommending prostate biopsy (4.0 ng/mL) has remained unchanged over time despite some calls to lower the threshold, according to researchers.
