[Chronic renal insufficiency of single kidney associated with genital, bone, and palpebral malformations].

Authors describe renal failure in a young woman with solitary pelvic kidney. Renal malformation was associated with genital and bone malformations that can be accounted for by the close relationship linking the genito-urinary and vertebral apparatuses during the first weeks of intrauterine life. Palpebral malformation which occurs very rarely in cases with renal malformations as reported in the literature was ascribed to hereditary factors. Changes of some indexes (serum and urine electrolytes, plasma renin and aldosterone) observed during the evolution of renal failure appear to confirm the role played by potassium in hormone balance and suggest repeated tests and dietary adjustments.

[Hormone changes during the sirocco].

The results of a study of 15 subjects on the occasion of a sirocco wind are reported. Behaviour of ARP, aldosteronaemia, cortisolaemia, Ht and serum electrolytes was assessed. A significant increase in ARP, aldosteronaemia and Ht was observed during the sirocco, while serum electrolytes went down. Cortisolaemia did not perform uniformly, increasing in some subjects and falling in others.
