Clinical evaluation of the urinary sediment after renal allotransplantation.

The detection of lymphoid cells by routine examination of the urine after renal allotransplantation has proved to be a useful early indication of rejection. In a study of 36 rejection episodes, 20 (56%) were associated with a significant number of lymphocytes in the urine. The incidence was much higher when rejection occurred during the first month after operation (76%); lymphocytes were rarely found when rejection occurred after three months. The appearance of lymphocytes in the urine was of particular value for detecting rejection in patients with prolonged oliguria after transplantation.

Clinical evaluation of a disposable artificial kidney.

The in-vivo performance of a new disposable parallel flow countercurrent type of artificial kidney has been compared with that of the modified four-layered Kiil dialyser. The dialysance of urea and endogenous creatinine in the former was significantly better than in the latter for similar blood flow rates, and, moreover, unlike the dialysance with the Kiil dialyser it continued to improve over 12 hours. Among 100 disposable artificial kidneys tested no failure occurred from blood leaks despite the use of high negative pressures in the dialysate compartment. No pyrogen reactions were observed.These new artificial kidneys were ready for use in less than one-seventh of the time taken to prepare the conventional Kiil dialyser. Other advantages are their low priming volumes, the lack of a pump in the blood line, and the reduced risk of infection.

Significance of signs and symptoms in benign prostatic hypertrophy.

Measurements of intravesical pressure, urinary flow rate, retrograde cystographic residual urine, reflux of contrast medium into the prostatic ducts, and radiological prostate size were made in 45 men with benign prostatic hypertrophy. These factors were all found to be good clinical indices of the degree of urethral resistance to micturition; on the other hand, there was no relation between the latter and the severity of symptoms.
