The effect of long-term lithium treatment on the kidneys has generated concern among psychiatrists, and proposals have been made that routine determinations of serum lithium and serum TSH should be supplemented with control of the kidney function through regular determinations of serum creatinine, glomerular filtration rate, and renal concentrating ability, as well as through kidney biopsy in certain circumstances.

Introduction: Urinary continence after cloacal repair is difficult to achieveand renal outcome in patients with cloacal malformations has been scarcelyreported. As a result, we reviewed our experience with cloacal malformationsto determine the status of continence and the long-term renal function in thesechildren.Methods: A retrospective chart review from 1990 to 2003 identified 12 patientswith cloacal malformation (1 posterior, 4 complex and 7 classical) who underwentsurgical reconstruction. The confluence was defined as high (commonchannel ≥ 3 cm) and low (< 3 cm) by cystovaginoscopy. Renal ultrasound,voiding cystouretrogram, renal scan and sacral radiograph were performedin all children. Most patients underwent 1-stage abdominoperineal pull-through,applying the principle of total urogenital sinus mobilization. We collected dataregarding hydronephrosis, vesicoureteral reflux and split differential renal function.Renal outcome was evaluated based on glomerular filtration rate and ageadjustedserum creatinine values (μmol/L). Urinary continence was definedas a dry interval > 4 hours.Results: Patients’ mean age at surgery was 20 months (range 7–29 mo). Ofthe 12 children who underwent cloacal repair, 7 (58.3%) had a common channel≥ 3cm. Renal anomalies were identified in 3 of 12 (25%) girls: there were 2 solitary kidneys and 1 pelvic kidney. Lumbar–sacral radiography demonstrated bony abnormalities in 11 of the 12 (91.6%) cases: hemivertebra in 3 cases, sacral agenesis in 4 cases, hypoplastic sacrum in 3 cases and bifid sacrum in 1 case. Total urogenital sinus mobilization through an abdominoperineal approach in a single stage was performed in 8 girls. Follow-up ranged from 4 to 14 years (mean 8.5 yr). Eight (66.6%) children had dry intervals > 4 hours, 5 (62.5%) of them were on clean intermittent catheterization through aMitrofanoff channel and 1 (12.5%) was through the urethra. The remaining 2 (25%) patients were voiding spontaneously. Three (33.3%) patients were totally incontinent, and 1 (8.3%) patient was awaiting reconstruction. The mean measured glomerular filtration rate was 93.5 mL/min/1.73m2 (range 34–152 mL/min/1.73m2). Four (57.1%) of 7 patients who had a common channel ≥ 3 cm ended up needing augmentation cystoplasty, compared with none of the patients with a common channel < 3 cm (57.1% v. 0%, p = 0.038).Conclusion: Urinary continence can be achieved in most patients with cloacalmalformation at the expense of major reconstructive surgery and despite thepresence of associated urological abnormalities. However, these childrenharbour an important risk for renal impairment later in life and should be closelymonitored.

BackgroundThe duration of renal ischemia that is associated with (or leads to) renal injury in patients is uncertain, and a reverse translational research approach has been proposed to improve animal models of AKI to facilitate clinical translatability. We developed a two murine models of unilateral renal ischemia to match a recently published human study that investigated renal injury after unilateral renal ischemia during partial nephrectomy.MethodsEight 10-week-old C57BL/6 male mice underwent left UiAKI or sham procedure, with or without intra-operative ice packs. Functional, histological, and biomarker outcomes were followed at 2, 6 and 24 hours, or 14 or 28 days later. The 14 and 28 day cohorts were duplicated such that contralateral nephrectomy could be performed 3 days prior to sacrifice with functional measurements obtained to isolate the glomerular filtration rate of the injured kidney.ResultsThe short-term outcomes correlated with the human study findings with urine and serum biomarkers of injury peaking around 24 hours and then normalizing, and reassuring immediate histological outcomes. Functional and histological outcomes at the later time-points (14 and 28 days) demonstrate an increase in fibrosis markers, and a reduction in glomerular filtration rate in the injured kidney, corresponding to the duration of ischemia, while serum and urine biomarkers remained reassuring.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that clinically available biomarkers of renal function are falsely reassuring against long-term injury following UiAKI, and that the duration of ischemia correlates with impaired function and increased fibrosis.
