[Unilateral atrophic kidney and hypertension--the value of plasma renin determination for assessing the indications for nephrectomy].

In unilateral atrophic kidney and hypertension the nephrectomy is the therapy of choice. The nephrectomy is, however, indicated only then, when a causal pathogenetic connection of atrophic kidney and hypertension is proved. As criterion of the proof of such a connection according to our experiences the side-separated determination of the plasma renin activity in the venous blood of the kidneys stood the test. A renal vein renin quotient greater than 1.5, moreover, permits a rather reliable prognostic evidence concerning the behaviour of the postoperative blood pressure. In 26 out of 31 hypertensive patients with significant renal vein renin quotient who were nephrectomized for a unilateral atrophic kidney could be achieved a normalization of the blood pressure, in the other 5 patients an improvement of the blood pressure.

[Micturition disorder as a sequela of sacral autonomic diabetic neuropathy].

Diabetic neuropathy may manifest itself also in the autonomous nervous system and thus lead to a functional disorder of the urinary bladder. Urodynamic studies carried out in 11 diabetic patients with unclear bladder dysfunction allowed 2 forms of bladder anomalies to be identified: 1. detrusor hyperreflexia, 2. hyporeflexia and areflexia of the detrusor. Whereas hyperreflexia is clinically characterised by signs of motor urgency, hyporeflexia is mainly identifiable by residual urine formation and recurrent infections of the urinary tract. Therapy depends on the type of dysfunction and consists of physiotherapeutic measures, drug therapy and occasionally surgery.

Treatment of detrusor instability of the urinary bladder by selective sacral blockade.

Detrusor instability and its associated incontinence frequently impair activity and the results of pharmacological and operative treatment have often been unsatisfactory. Twenty-two patients with idiopathic detrusor instability were treated by selective local anaesthesia of both sacral roots S3. The follow-up period ranged from 4 months to 2 years. In patients with neuropathic detrusor instability, local anaesthesia had no permanent effect, but in four such cases it was possible to achieve continence by permanent blockade of S3 using phenol injections. A disadvantage of the latter procedure was that bladder emptying was achieved only by manual abdominal compression or catheterisation.

[Selective sacral nerve blockade in the treatment of detrusor hyperreflexia of the bladder].

Hyperreflexive detrusor instability causes severe impairment of the patients private and professional life. Involuntary detrusor contractions lead to incontinence. The results of previous pharmacological and operative therapeutic procedures are unsatisfactory. 22 cases with idiopathic hyperreflexive detrusor instability were cured by selective local anaesthesia of both sacral roots S3. The follow-up period ranges from 4 months to 2 years. In case with neurogenic detrusor instability local anaesthesia of the sacral roots S3 has no permanent effect. But in 4 such cases it was possible to reach continence by permanent interruption of the roots S3 using phenolglycerin injections. Unavoidably this success, which enables social rehabilitation, results in voiding disturbance of the bladder which makes voiding by manual bladder compression or even catheterization necessary.
