We investigated whether use of the Double-J ureteral stent causes untoward symptoms and complications. Of 20 patients evaluated by questionnaire 18 suffered 1 or more symptoms in the upper (for example loin pain) or lower (for example dysuria and frequency) urinary tract in the absence of infection. Despite the undoubted benefit in many patients, troublesome symptoms are common. We recommend early removal of the stents but we cannot implicate any correctable technical factors.

The loin pain hematuria syndrome has been characterized as a constellation of severe recurrent flank pain and hematuria, occurring predominantly in young women. We studied a 17-year-old woman who had recurrent right flank pain, gross hematuria, and fever, without evidence of urinary tract infection. Her physical exam was remarkable for right costovertebral angle tenderness and a normal BP. Her urinalysis showed blood and protein but her creatinine clearance and 24-hour urinary calcium excretion were normal. A kidney biopsy was remarkable for arteriolar subintimal fibrous thickening and fibrin deposition, but no glomerulonephritis. Her peripheral hemostasis evaluation was normal except for circulating platelet aggregates and elevated fibrinopeptide A levels. On two occasions, her serum was unable to normally support prostacyclin (PGI2) production by cultured human umbilical endothelial cells, as measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) of its stable metabolite 6-keto-PGF alpha. Blood samples from the right renal vein and inferior vena cava revealed a selective elevation of fibrinopeptide A in the right renal venous effluent. The presence of circulating platelet aggregates and elevated levels of fibrinopeptide A (a cleavage product of fibrin) suggests that platelet activation and fibrin deposition may play a role in the pathogenesis of this disorder. The inability of her serum to normally support the production of the potent antiplatelet and antithrombotic substance, PGI2, could represent a primary renovascular endothelial cell defect.

Between July 1983 and March 1986, 160 potential living related renal donors underwent renal angiography. One hundred and twenty-eight have (Group 1) and 32 have not (Group 2) become renal donors. The addition of selective renal angiography did not alter the pre-operative arterial prediction made on flush aortography in 102 of 109 renal donors who had both investigations. At surgery, nine of the 13 unexpected arterial findings were in patients who had both forms of angiography. Complications of angiography in 16 patients (11%) included failed groin puncture (two), groin haematoma (eight), haematocoele (one) and loin pain (five). Three patients had renal artery damage detected at surgery, one of which resulted in graft loss. The arterial anatomy demonstrated was similar in 22 of the 23 patients in Group 2 who had flush and selective angiography. One patient (3%) developed a small groin haematoma. Forty-six patients (29%) had multiple renal arteries demonstrated angiographically. This paper highlights the incidence of renal artery damage following selective renal angiography and suggests that flush aortography provides adequate pre-operative information.

A syndrome of back and loin pain produced by impingement of the lowest rib against the iliac crest is described in six patients. All had noticed a significant loss of height and five had osteoporosis of the vertebral column. It is suggested that mechanical irritation of the lowest rib against the iliac crest was the cause of the pain and that subperiosteal resection of the outer two-thirds of the rib would stop this irritation and relieve the symptoms. The six patients who underwent resection of the twelfth rib all obtained relief of symptoms; in one patient the eleventh rib also was resected. At latest review 5 to 34 months postoperatively there has been no recurrence of symptoms.

In a multipractice prevalence study of uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) in primary health care (PHC), with 355 episodes in 302 individuals during one month, 93% of the episodes occurred in females and Escherichia coli was the dominating causative organism (77%). Most episodes of UTI (84%) were acute and associated with lower (75%), upper (5%) or uncharacteristic symptoms (4%) whereas 16% represented bacteriuria discovered by posttreatment controls. Urgency (77%) and dysuria (70%) were the most common symptoms. Loin pain was highly associated with upper UTI (88%) but was reported also in 23% of episodes of lower UTI. Patient's delay differed between PHC centres and patient categories and was surprisingly long, four weeks in nine per cent and on average 8.4 days.

Loin pain hematuria syndrome occurs primarily in young women and is manifested by recurrent loin pain, hematuria, and abnormal renal vasculature. This syndrome was first described in 1967 by Little in the British literature. Since that time, approximately 60 cases have been reported. In this paper, we describe a case and provide a pertinent review of the literature concerning diagnosis and treatment.

Two boys investigated for gross hematuria and left loin pain were found on ultrasound (US) to have left renal vein (LRV) entrapment associated with isomorphic urinary red blood cells, but normal renal venograms. Over the next 18 months ten children with gross hematuria were investigated and two more boys were discovered with the LRV entrapment syndrome, i.e., isomorphic red cells and a diagnostic US. Venography has a low yield in detecting renal venous compression, and since urinary red cell morphology may localize the origin of renal bleeding, we strongly recommend simple procedures, i.e., phase microscopy and renal US to evaluate all cases of hematuria before employing invasive or radiation dependent investigations. Since there is a range of LRV compression and associated dilatation in asymptomatic patients, strict criteria must be applied to diagnose renal vein entrapment.

Radionuclide imaging in a patient who had acute renal failure with severe loin pain and patchy renal vasoconstriction is described. The patient was studied 3h after the intravenous bolus injection of 25 mCi99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP). An intense patchy renal concentration of 99mTc-MDP was observed.

Two patients are presented who had each previously undergone resection of a primary lung carcinoma. They later developed the classical triad of loin pain, haematuria and an abdominal mass suggestive of a primary renal tumour. Investigations, including intravenous urography, ultrasound and renal arteriography, supported the diagnosis. However, at operation both patients had para-aortic lymph node metastases from the lung carcinoma surrounding the renal pedicle and invading the renal parenchyma. It is suggested that further investigations might allow pre-operative diagnosis and thus avoid the need for surgery in such patients.

Haematuria and left loin pain in a patient with abdominal aortic aneurysm and associated with the radiological finding of a poorly or non-functioning left kidney are the pathognomonic features of aorto-left renal vein fistula, a condition in which the aneurysm leaks into an anomalous retro-aortic left renal vein.
