Abstract

The treatment is presented, applied in a case of severe angiocholitis complicated by acute renal failure, known in the literature under the name of uremigenic angiocholitis. After three emergency hospitalizations, two interventions consisting in surgical drainage, de-shocking procedures, treatment of the hepato-renal failure and applications of wide-range antibiotics for the treatment of infection the angiocholitic phenomena disappeared and the hepato-renal failure is on the way to recovery. At this moment of the evolution the patient developed atrial fibrillation that was improved by Narcotan anesthesia. The efficiency is remarked of the treatment with large amounts of Furosemid in the anuric period, as a means to avoid extra-renal depuration.

[Gallstones: natural course and complications].

Cholelithiasis is a common clinical situation. In most individuals it takes an inconspicuous clinical course. In symptomatic patients the complications have to be considered: acute cholecystitis, cholangitis, choledocholithiasis, pancreatitis, ileus by large stones and--in a subgroup of patients--carcinoma of the biliary system. Therapy is warranted in symptomatic patients in order to prevent complications. The decision for use of surgical versus non surgical interventions is decided on a individual basis. In general laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the procedure of choice nowadays. A prophylactic cholecystectomy is as a rule not indicated in asymptomatic patients.
