[Microscopic hematuria].

Isolated microhematuria, without any other systemic and local causes, is frequent phenomenon in clinical practice. It is a diagnostic problem for both general practitioners and nephrologists. By means of standard diagnostic procedures it is usually very hard to define nature and origin of blood in urine. Therefore, in those cases invasive diagnostic methods of examination are usually applied, cystoscopy, invasive radiology etc. Light microscopy and supravital coloring secure high-quality approach to various elements formed in urine's sediment. They also provide better analysis of the morphology of erythrocytes. It is of great importance to define their origins. Using verified methodological principles, this method attains its real place in diagnostic procedures applied to examine the origins of blood in urine.

[Transplantation of the kidney in children and young adolescents. Report of 8 cases].

In this article we reviewed our experience in transplantation of children and young adolescents. Basic data of patients, immunosuppression and transplant function are reported. Favouralbe and unfavourable effects of transplantation have been discussed. A small number of patients cannot permit to make statistical conclusions. The only possible conclusion is the increasing number of such patients in our country require a more rapid development of regular dialysis and transplant program in Yugoslavia.

[Acute renal failure following necrosis of a myoma in the puerperium].

The case is presented of a 36-year-old secundipara with the uterine myoma and a mild form of EPH gestosis. She became icteric and anuric on the sixth day after a spontaneous vaginal delivery and an apparently uneventful early puerperium. Blood coagulation tests were characteristic of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Since it is postulated that the appearance of DIC could be connected with the probable necrosis of a preexisting uterine myoma, abdominal hysterectomy was performed on the 8th puerperal day. Because of a persisting acute renal failure with highly elevated BUN levels and creatinine, the patient was subjected to haemodialysis every day during the next 73 days. After 3 months of this treatment she was discharged from hospital with a reduced but satisfactory renal function. The pathogenesis of DIC and acute renal failure following necrosis of the uterine myoma is discussed.
