[Primary hyperoxaluria and pregnancy].

A rare case of pregnancy in a patient with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 is reported offering a clinical contribution for the prognostic study of a natural event such as the pregnancy on these patients. It is underlined how epicriticity of the hepatorenal system is remarkably altered during the last weeks of pregnancy with a great increase of calciuria and proteinuria with a risk of life for the patient and the newborn. In fact, during the 36rd week a caesarean section was performed due to gestosis. Moreover, the deterioration of kidney functionality doesn't decrease during post partum. Therefore, it would be advisable inform these patients about the risk of pregnancy.

Disorders of micturition in neurological patients. A clinical study of 786 patients.

Our aim was to evaluate the utility and effectiveness of a study protocol for neurological involvement in neurological disorders. We studied a sample of 786 patients with neurological disorders followed by the Neurological Department of Catania University and applied to them a four-step diagnostic protocol. Fifty-six per cent of the sample showed urological functional abnormalities; only 78 patients (9.9%) presented with an organic urological disease. Among the vesicosphincteric dysfunctions, bladder hyperreflexia was the most common pattern with remarkable differences between diseases. The present study demonstrated the utility of a standardized urological protocol in the screening and detection of neurological involvement in neurological diseases. Our protocol showed good specificity and reasonable low costs.
