[Vesico-ureteral-renal reflux in the adult. Preliminary results of endoscopic treatment].

Vesico-ureteric reflux in adult patient may now be treated endoscopically by injecting teflon under the ureteral orifices. Twenty-six ureteral units were treated by this technique in 18 patients. Correction of the reflux was obtained in 22 units (85 p. 100); the technique was ineffective in 4 units (15 p. 100). No complication was observed in this series; in particular, there was no stenosis of the intramural ureter. These encouraging preliminary results have to be confirmed on a long-term basis in large series of patients.

[Autoimmune hemolytic anemia during treatment with cyclosporin after liver transplantation].

Hemolytic anemia was observed in a 36 year-old liver transplant patient. The immunosuppressive regimen included cyclosporine A and prednisolone. Hemolysis appeared a few days after amoxicillin treatment. The presence of anti-D allo-antibodies, auto-antibodies active against erythrocytes, and an immuno-allergic phenomenon against erythrocytic membrane coated by cyclosporine was demonstrated. Increase of daily dose of prednisolone without modification of cyclosporine doses was followed by the disappearance of allo- and auto-sensitization. The role of amoxicillin in promoting these hemolytic phenomenons may be suggested.

[Ureteral stenoses after renal transplantation].

Out of 953 kidney transplantations performed in Lyon up to the end of 1984, we observed 28 (2.9%) post-operative ureteral stenoses. Most of them were diagnosed during the first year post-transplantation. Surgical reparation of the stenosis involved either ureterovesical reimplantation or pyeloureteral anastomosis with the patients' own ureter. Return to normal renal function was observed in 64.2% of our patients while in 10.7% renal function was stabilized. Actuarial postoperative graft survival was 66% at one year and 58% at two years of follow-up.
