Is renal function ameliorated in a diabetic nephropathy rat model through a duodenal-jejunal bypass?
DJB ameliorated renal function in UAER and GFR but not mesangial expansion in a DN rat model. The improvement of renal function may be attributed to reversing the injury or loss of podocytes after DJB surgery.
A higher hospital radical cystectomy volume appears to lead to a lower risk of complications only after other common urological oncological procedures, namely radical prostatectomy and nephrectomy, but not after nononcological urology procedures.
