Dynamic computed tomography in acute renal failure: analysis of time-density curve.

An analysis of dynamic CT curves in 12 patients with acute renal failure was performed. An oliguric patient who demonstrates corticomedullary differentiation on CT images will develop diuresis within 4 days. A corticoaortic junction time of more than 180 s associated with no differentiation between cortex and medulla is associated with prolonged oligoanuria. Impending diuresis is heralded by a corticoaortic junction time of less than 180 s. These preliminary results suggest that an analysis of dynamic CT curves in acute renal failure can predict the time of appearance of the diuretic stage.

Haemolytic-uraemic syndrome treated with heparin.

Three children with the haemolytic-uraemic syndrome were treated with intravenous heparin. Peritoneal dialysis was required for two of them, one of whom died after 26 days of therapy. Renal biopsy specimens from the two survivors showed widespread glomerular disease, which appeared permanent in one case, but only occasional thrombi. It is suggested that heparin therapy, by preventing further intrarenal thrombosis, allowed the normal fibrinolytic mechanisms to remove previously formed thrombi.
