Renal lymphangioma: A cause of neonatal nephromegaly A new born male presented with bilateral nephromegaly and mild hypertension. Function of the right kidney was reduced on excretory urography. Ultrasound showed bilaterally enlarged kidneys with increased echogenicity and poorly defined corticomedullary junctions. Areas of decreased medullary enhancement were seen on CT.

Bilateral Enlarged Kidneys: Differential Diagnosis Diabetic nephropathy: Most common cause of bilateral enlarged kidneys, accounting for 50% of cases. May precede chemical evidence of diabetes by a year or so. The echogenicity of the kidneys is normal. Acute glomerulonephritis: Enlargement is thought to be due to edema. Patients present with renal insufficiency.

Acromegaly Acromegaly is usually caused by a non-cancerous tumor in the pituitary gland called a pituitary adenoma. The tumor produces too much GH and raises the level of GH in the blood. Too much GH also raises the level of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a hormone produced in the liver that also promotes growth. Rarely, acromegaly is caused by hormone-producing tumors in other parts of the body.

Causes of Swollen Kidney Hydronephrosis mainly occurs in the following conditions: * There is a blockage somewhere in the urinary tract. * The normal working of the bladder is disrupted which causes urine to flow back from the bladder and into the kidney. As the urine can not be filtered normally from body, it can cause swollen kidney. If it is left untreated, it may cause more serious kidney damage.

Acromegaly Acromegaly is a serious condition that occurs when the body produces too much of the hormones that control growth. This causes abnormal enlargement of bone, cartilage, muscle, organs, and other tissues. This abnormal growth can cause serious disease and even premature death.

- Some factors affect the passage of urine from the kidney while others cause damage to the kidney(s) as a whole. The most common causes of and main risk factors for kidney disease are: Diabetes: a sustained high level of blood glucose from uncontrolled diabetes can over time damage the nephrons in the kidneys. This can be avoided by maintaining good glucose control.

- We're sorry, an error occurred. 1  Acromegaly is a rare condition that causes excess bone and organ growth.  This excess growth is caused by an overproduction of growth hormone in the body. This hormone overproduction is usually caused by a benign brain tumor.

Acromegaly Acromegaly in cats is caused by a growth hormone-secreting tumour (often a somatotrophic adenoma or somatotrophic hyperplasia) in the pars distalis of the anterior pituitary in the brain.

Nephrotic syndrome Nephrotic syndrome is a group of symptoms that include protein in the urine, low blood protein levels in the blood, high cholesterol levels, high triglyceride levels, and swelling. Nephrotic syndrome is caused by different disorders that damage the kidneys. This damage leads to the release of too much protein in the urine. The most common cause in children is minimal change disease. Membranous glomerulonephritis is the most common cause in adults. In both diseases, the glomeruli in the kidneys are damaged.

What causes acromegaly? Acromegaly is the result of too much growth hormone in the body. In most cases, a benign tumor on the pituitary gland causes the body to produce extra growth hormone. However, sometimes, tumors in other parts of the body can secrete hormones that trigger an excessive release of growth hormone, too.

- Nephritis may be caused by an infection, taking certain drugs or toxic chemicals, or by a reaction by the body's immune system that has damaged the kidneys. When they are inflamed (swollen and irritated), the kidneys pass protein and red blood cells into the urine. Urine can turn brownish from the blood, almost the color of cola. Sometimes nephritis can cause pain in the side, back, or belly, but most of the time it doesn't.

IgA Nephropathy What causes IgA nephropathy? Scientists think that IgA nephropathy is an autoimmune kidney disease, meaning that the disease is due to the body’s immune system harming the kidneys. People with IgA nephropathy have an increased blood level of IgA that contains less of a special sugar, galactose, than normal.

Nephrotic Syndrome in Adults Diseases that affect only the kidneys are called primary causes of nephrotic syndrome. The glomeruli are usually the targets of these diseases for reasons that are not fully understood. In FSGS—the most common primary cause of nephrotic syndrome—scar tissue forms in parts of the glomeruli.

Hydronephrosis | Symptoms and Causes Two types of problems cause hydronephrosis. One is obstruction, where urine is physically prevented from draining out of the kidney. The obstruction, or blockage, can occur at any point in the urinary system from the kidney down to the urethra. The second is reflux, in which urine flows back up into the kidney.

levocarnitine oral Kidney failure can occur from an acute event or a chronic condition or disease. Prerenal kidney failure is caused by blood loss, dehydration, or medication. Some of the renal causes of kidney failure include sepsis, medications, rhabdomyolysis, multiple myeloma, and acute glomerulonephritis. Post renal causes of kidney failure include bladder obstruction, prostate problems, tumors, or kidney stones.Treatment options included diet, medications, or dialysis.

- Ureter. 1  Kidney stone. 2  Likely the most common reason to have unilateral hydronephrosis is a kidney stone that causes obstruction of the ureter. 3  The stone gradually moves from the kidney into the bladder but if it should act like a dam while in the ureter, urine will back up and cause the kidney to swell.

Acromegaly Overproduction of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland over a long period of time causes acromegaly. There are several reasons for overproduction of GH. The most common reason is the presence of a pituitary adenoma, which is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor of the pituitary gland.

What are gout symptoms and signs? Frequent urination can also be caused by diseases of other body systems. For example, untreated or poorly controlled diabetes can cause frequent urination due to a high concentration of glucose (sugar) in the blood, which causes increased thirst, increased drinking, and frequent urination.ther causes of frequent urination. Frequent urination can be caused by diseases and conditions that affect other organs and body systems including: Anxiety. Certain medications such as diuretics, or water pills.

In the majority of cases, excess levels of GH are causes by a benign (noncancerous) tumor in the pituitary gland (pituitary adenoma).n rare cases, non-pituitary tumors in the pancreas, lungs or adrenal glands may cause acromegaly. These tumors may directly produce excess growth hormone or they may produce growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), which stimulates the pituitary gland to release GH.

What energy transfers happen when coal is used to generate electricity in a traditional power station? Pulverised coal (for better and easier combustion), is burned in a boiler where the Heat Energy is converted to Thermal and Pressure Energy of Superheated Steam. This is then Converted into Mechanical Energy by Driving large Steam Turbines.

Diabetes Insipidus nephrogenic diabetes insipidus — lack of kidney response to normal levels of ADH: can be caused by drugs or chronic disorders, such as kidney failure, sickle cell disease, or polycystic kidney disease. Causes of diabetes insipidus: Diabetes insipidus can be caused by several conditions, including the following: malfunctioning hypothalamus damage to hypothalamus or pituitary gland during surgery

What is the cause of IgA nephropathy? IgA nephropathy is one of a group of conditions called glomerulonephritis. The cause of IgA nephropathy is not completely understood. IgA is a type of protein (antibody) our body produces to fight infection. IgA becomes trapped in the kidneys and causes damage to the kidneys.
