26 paź 2016 · Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare condition characterized by the presence of inflammatory and fibrous retroperitoneal tissue that often encases the ureters or abdominal organs. This study describes the clinical characteristics, diagnostic methods, and treatments and their effects on renal function.
11 sie 2023 · Untreated patients may develop severe complications including progression to end-stage kidney disease . RPF is classified into primary (idiopathic) disease, which can result from immunoglobulin G4–related disease (IgG4-RD) or non-IgG4-RD, and secondary disease.
The fibrosis of RPF can compress the ureters and block the flow of urine from the kidneys (see How the disease works below). If this occurs, urine flow can be restored using a stent. The stent, a slender tube, is inserted in the ureter holding it open for urine to flow freely.
10 lut 2021 · Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare cause of obstructive uropathy that may lead to acute and chronic renal failure up to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) [1, 2].
1 maj 2024 · Renal plasma flow – the perfusion of the glomerulus is an important determinant of GFR, as the blood flow provides the required hydrostatic pressure for ultrafiltration. The RPF is determined by the pressure gradient through the renal vasculature divided by the total renal vascular resistance.
29 lip 2023 · Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF, Ormond's disease) is a rare disease of unknown etiology, characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the retroperitoneum resulting in compression and encasement of ...
RPF, or retroperitoneal fibrosis, is a condition of uncertain cause that can cause inflammation (heat, pain and swelling) and scarring around or near to the major blood vessel (aorta) that supplies blood from to the abdomen and legs. Sometimes, RPF occurs in association with IgG4-RD; an alternative inflammatory condition.
