How should an infected perinephric haematoma be drained in a tetraplegic patient with baclofen pump implanted in the abdominal wall? - A case report. (1/13)

BACKGROUND: We present a case to illustrate controversies in percutaneous drainage of infected, perinephric haematoma in a tetraplegic patient, who had implantation of baclofen pump in anterior abdominal wall on the same side as perinephric haematoma. CASE PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old male with C-4 tetraplegia had undergone implantation of programmable pump in the anterior abdominal wall for intrathecal infusion of baclofen to control spasticity. He developed perinephric haematoma while he was taking warfarin as prophylactic for deep vein thrombosis. Perinephric haematoma became infected with a resistant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and required percutaneous drainage. Positioning this patient on his abdomen without anaesthesia, for insertion of a catheter from behind, was not a realistic option. Administration of general anaesthesia in this patient in the radiology department would have been hazardous. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Percutaneous drainage was carried out by anterior approach under propofol sedation. The site of entry of percutaneous catheter was close to cephalic end of baclofen pump. By carrying out drainage from anterior approach, and by keeping this catheter for ten weeks, we took a risk of causing infection of the baclofen pump site, and baclofen pump with a resistant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The alternative method would have been to anaesthetise the patient and position him prone for percutaneous drainage of perinephric collection from behind. This would have ensured that the drainage track was far away from the baclofen pump with minimal risk of infection of baclofen pump, but at the cost of incurring respiratory complications in a tetraplegic subject.  (+info)

Inotropic response to norepinephrine is augmented early and maintained late in conscious dogs with perinephritic hypertension. (2/13)

We studied the inotropic responses to intravenous infusions of norepinephrine in nine conscious chronically instrumented dogs before and early (2-4 weeks) in the development of perinephritic hypertension; seven conscious dogs were studied later (approximately 14 weeks), during a more stable phase of hypertension. perinephritic hypertension was associated with a 24% increase in left ventricular (LV) mass during developing hypertension; no further increase was seen during the stable hypertension phase. LV end-systolic stress was increased early (p less than 0.01) but was normalized later. The LV end-systolic stress-volume relation demonstrated an enhanced contractile response to norepinephrine during developing hypertension, which returned toward control later in the course of stable hypertension. The LV dP/dt responses to norepinephrine (0.4 microgram/kg/min) were significantly greater during developing hypertension (7,509 +/- 337 mm Hg/sec, p less than 0.05) compared with the control period (4,737 +/- 286 mm Hg/sec) and returned toward the control value during stable hypertension (5,168 +/- 465 mm Hg/sec). The enhanced inotropic responses to norepinephrine in developing hypertension were preserved in the presence of ganglionic blockade, suggesting that the augmentation was not mediated via reflex mechanisms. These physiological responses were associated with an increase in beta-adrenergic receptor density, but no significant change in basal or maximal adenylate cyclase stimulation occurred during developing hypertension. Thus, in contrast to prior studies in anesthetized animals, the inotropic response to beta-adrenergic stimulation is not depressed in conscious dogs but is enhanced selectively during the development of hypertension and maintained during stable hypertension.  (+info)

Perihepatitis and perinephric abscess due to Mycoplasma hominis in a kidney transplant patient. (3/13)

Mycoplasma hominis has been incriminated in several genital and extragenital infections. Here, we report the first case of perihepatitis associated with a perinephric abscess in a woman who had received a kidney transplant. Four months after the transplant, the patient was admitted for perirenal allograft pain, fever, and elevated inflammatory parameters and liver enzyme levels. A renal ultrasonography found a collection of fluid. Results of blood and urine analyses were within normal limits. Fluid aspiration of the peritoneal cavity was performed, and the results of cultures for bacteria and fungi were negative. The patient was treated by surgical lavage of the peritoneal cavity. Her fever resolved 5 days later. Two months after surgical lavage of the peritoneal cavity, her liver enzyme levels returned to the normal range. Three months after surgical lavage, cultures of the perinephric fluid showed Mycoplasma hominis. We conclude that in patients who present with perinephric fluid suspected of being infected, bacteriologic analysis of the fluid (from surgical lavage of the peritoneal cavity) should be performed. Antibiotics active against intracellular bacteria should be administered.  (+info)

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, perinephric type--a case report. (4/13)

A 46 year-old woman with perinephric type of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is described. She had a fever and pain with a palpable mass in her right flank. The blood analysis revealed anemia, leucocytosis, gamma-globulinemia, but no hyperlipidemia. The urine analysis showed nothing abnormal, but enterobacter was present in the urine. An intravenous pyelogram demonstrated a right non-functioning kidney. The diagnosis of a perinephric abscess was made from the x-ray and ultrasonogram, and a right nephrectomy was performed. The resected kidney had a tumor-like lump covered with Gerota's fascia at the postero-lateral side of the kidney. The cut surface of the kidney revealed an area of hemorrhage, blood clotting, abscess and a brownish yellow area in the perinephric fat tissue. The calyx and pelvis were normal. Histologically, the brownish yellow area was a granuloma with foam cell infiltration. The foam cells contained lipids. The renal parenchyma showed a non-specific chronic pyelonephritis.  (+info)

Changes in diastolic cardiac function in developing and stable perinephritic hypertension in conscious dogs. (5/13)

The effects of developing perinephritic hypertension (2-3 weeks) and a more stable period of perinephritic hypertension (approximately 14 weeks) were examined on indexes of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in conscious, chronically instrumented dogs. The complete period of diastole was studied using indexes of isovolumic relaxation (tau), early filling (LV +dD/dt), and stiffness (myocardial stiffness and chamber stress/diameter ratio). During developing hypertension, increased LV end-diastolic pressure, LV end-diastolic stress, peak filling rate, myocardial stiffness, and the stress/diameter ratio increased (p less than 0.05); the time constant tau was not changed. These changes were associated with preserved baseline levels of coronary blood flow (radioactive microspheres) but an impaired coronary vasodilator response to adenosine. Acute administration of phenylephrine in the normotensive dogs caused increases in systolic and diastolic stress and resulted in increases in myocardial stiffness and in the stress/diameter ratio similar to values observed in developing hypertension. During stable hypertension, LV end-diastolic stress, peak filling rate, and both parameters of late-diastolic function (myocardial stiffness and stress/diameter ratio) returned toward control values, but the isovolumic relaxation time constant was increased. Quantitative histological evaluation revealed no increase in stainable connective tissue in dogs with stable hypertension compared with control dogs, and hydroxyproline concentration was not increased in the subendomyocardium, midmyocardium, or subepimyocardium of the dogs with chronic perinephritic hypertension. Thus, in developing hypertension, major alterations in diastolic function were observed that were not structurally related, since these changes 1) could be induced in normal dogs by increasing preload and afterload acutely with phenylephrine and 2) were improved during the ensuing stable period of hypertension.  (+info)

Serum angiotensin converting enzyme activity and the capacity to develop hypertention-associated arterial disease. Studies during the induction phase of one-kidney perinephritis hypertension in rabbits. (6/13)

Serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity and plasma renin activity (PRA) were studied during the development of the widespread necrotic arterial disease that occurs in the induction phase of one-kidney perinephritis hypertension. Control serum ACE activity was significantly higher in rabbits developing many arterial lesions than it was in rabbits developing relatively few arterial lesions. Serum ACE decreased 7 days after the production of unilateral perinephritis in all rabbits. Following contralateral nephrectomy, serum ACE decreased further in rabbits devloping many arterial lesions but returned toward control values in rabbits developing relatively few arterial lesions. Significant inverse correlations were demonstrated for the total number of arterial lesions that developed relative to a) the decrease in serum ACE activity 7 days after the production of unilateral perinephritis, b) the lowest or the average serum ACE activity during the period of development of the arterial lesions after contralateral nephrectomy, and c) the change in serum ACE activity during the period of development of the arterial lesions. Chronic treatment with SQ 20,881, a synthetic nonapeptide inhibitor of ACE activity, during the period of development of the hypertension and the arterial lesions significantly reduced the serum ACE activity and the hypertension but did not change interrelationships between serum ACE activity and the number of arterial lesions that developed. PRA significantly decreased after the production of perinephritis and decreased somewhat further during the induction period of the hypertension after contralateral nephrectomy. No relationships were demonstrated between PRA, or changes in PRA, and the development of arterial lesions. The increase in blood pressure during the incubation period of the hypertension did not correlate with the number of arterial lesions that developed. These finding indicate that serum ACE activity reflects importantly on the capacity to develop necrotic arterial lesions during the induction phase of one-kidney perinephritis hypertention and on functional events relating to their pathogenesis.  (+info)

Bilateral subcapsular and perinephric hemorrhage as the initial presentation of polyarteritis nodosa. (8/13)

Polyarteritis nodosa is a systemic vasculitis of medium and small-sized arteries associated with aneurysm formation. Aneurysms may be complicated by thrombosis, rupture and hemorrhage. Kidney involvement in polyarteritis nodosa can rarely be complicated by Wunderlich syndrome which is characterized by acute onset of spontaneous, nontraumatic subcapsular and perirenal hematomas. A 22-year-old woman with mental retardation due to childhood cytomegalovirus infection presented with flank pain, weight loss and fever, and was found to have bilateral subcapsular and perinephric hematomas. Spontaneous bilateral renal hemorrhage as the initial manifestation of polyarteritis nodosa is rare, and it can be associated with delays in diagnosis and treatment.  (+info)

Perinephritis is a medical term that refers to the inflammation of the tissues surrounding the kidney. It is a relatively rare condition that can result from various causes, including bacterial infections, fungal infections, or chemical irritants. In some cases, perinephritis may also occur as a complication of kidney surgery or trauma to the kidney.

The symptoms of perinephritis can vary depending on the severity and cause of the inflammation. They may include fever, abdominal or back pain, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty urinating. In severe cases, perinephritis can lead to serious complications such as sepsis, kidney failure, or even death if left untreated.

Diagnosis of perinephritis typically involves a combination of physical examination, medical history, laboratory tests, and imaging studies such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI. Treatment usually involves antibiotics to treat any underlying infection, as well as supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent complications. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to drain any accumulated pus or fluid in the perinephric area.
