End-stage renal disease is a risk factor for complex laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients waiting for renal transplantation

INTRODUCTION:
: To date, there are no studies investigating whether laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is technically more complex in patients waiting for kidney transplant. The aim of this study is to create a user-friendly score to identify high-risk cases for complex LC integrating end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Chronic kidney disease and urological disorders: systematic use of uroflowmetry in nephropathic patients

Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a highly prevalent condition. Urologic disorders are known causes of CKD, but
often remain undiagnosed and underestimated also for their insidious onset and slow progression. We aimed to evaluate
the prevalence of urological unrecognized diseases in CKD patients by uroflowmetry. Methods. We enrolled consecutive stable CKD outpatients. The patients carried out two questionnaires, the International
Prostate Symptom Score and Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form, and they also underwent uroflowmetry, evaluating
