Q
Rahal, JAVMA, 2014:
Giant kidney worms
- What % of dogs required nephrectomy?
- What % of dogs had parasites free within the abdominal cavity?
- Were ultrasound and CT more effective for detecting giant kidney worms in the kidney or the abdominal cavity?
A
Rahal, JAVMA, 2014:
- 87% required nephrectomy
- 47% had parasites free within the abdominal cavity
- Ultrasound and CT were more effective for detecting the parasites in the kidney than in the abdominal cavity

- Long-term complications?
- What % of the dogs developed recurrent UTIs?
A
Kuntz, JAVMA, 2015:
- Intra-op complication rate: 14%
- Short-term complications: bladder hematoma, transient dysuria

Q
Crivellenti, JAVMA, 2018:
Core needle renal biopsies vs laparotomy or laparoscopic biopsies
- What factor(s) were associated with the number of glomeruli obtained per needle core specimen?
- Specimens obtained by which approach(es) more commonly contained medullary tissue?
A
Crivellenti, JAVMA, 2018:
- Factors associated with the number of glomeruli obtained per needle core specimen: needle gauge, patient age, serum creatinine concentration, degree of proteinuria
- Specimens obtained via laparotomy or laparoscopic approaches more commonly contained medullary tissue compared to ultrasound-guided approaches

- Specificity of cytologic examination for detection of neoplastic vs non-neoplastic conditions?
A
McAloney, JAVMA, 2018:
- 72% of specimens had slides adequate for interpretation
- Sensitivity of cytologic examination: 78% for neoplastic conditions vs 50% for non-neoplastic conditions
- Specificity of cytologic examination: 50% for neoplastic conditions vs 77% for non-neoplastic conditions

Endoscopic nephrolithotomy
- What was the most common nephrolith type?
- Procedure-related complications?
- Mortality rate?
A
