Zusammenfassung Anamnese und klinischer Befund Der folgende Case Report berichtet über die Aufnahme eines Patienten mit einem akut auf chronischen Nierenversagen unter BCG-(Bacillus-Calmette-Guérin)-Erhaltungstherapie bei bekanntem Blasenkarzinom mit sonografisch dargestelltem Harnstau II.–III. Grades ohne Restharn. Die zystoskopisch nachweisbare beidseitige intramurale Engstelle kann im Rahmen der BCG-Therapie gedeutet werden. Therapie und Verlauf Es folgte die Anlage einer Doppel-J-Schiene, worunter sich die Nierenretentions-Parameter schnell besserten. Folgerung Ein postrenales Nierenversagen ist mit 5 % eher selten, wobei in der differenzialdiagnostischen Überlegung neben anderen Ursachen auch eine medikamentös-induzierte Ursache (z. B. BCG) einzubeziehen ist.

In the following case report, we describe a patient with acute renal failure due to an urinary congestion level II-III under BCG-(Bacillus Calmette-Guérin)-therapy because of bladder cancer. Cystoscopy revealed the diagnosis of BCG-induced intramural narrowing of distal ureters bilaterally. After receiving a double-J-catheter the renal function returned to normal. Although postrenal failure is relatively rare (5 %), also seldom causes such as medication-induced (e. g. BCG) ureter stenosis has to be included into the differential diagnosis.

We evaluated the differences between conventional needle biopsy (CB) and saturation biopsy (SB) techniques with regard to the prediction of Gleason score, tumor stage, and insignificant prostate cancer. Data from a total number of 240 patients were analyzed. The main group, consisting of 185 patients, was diagnosed according to a saturation prostate needle biopsy protocol (SB), by which more than 12 cores were taken per biopsy. The control group was diagnosed using CB, by which 12 or less than 12 cores were taken per biopsy (n=55). In the main group, the Gleason score of the biopsy was confirmed in 19.5%, in the control group in 23.5% according to the prostatectomy specimen (p=0.50). Upgrading after the operation was found in 56.7% in the main group and in 60% in the control group (p=0.24). Downgrading after the operation was found in 23.9% in the main group and in 16.3% in the control group (p=0.24). If the Gleason score of the postoperative specimens differed by only one point from the biopsy, we considered this a minor deviation. In the main group, 59% of the carcinomas were preoperatively classified correctly or revealed minor deviation in Gleason scores. In contrast, only 47% of the carcinomas in the control group were assessed correctly or with minor deviation in Gleason scores. Thus, the main group demonstrated a better rate of preoperative prediction in tumor grading assessed by Gleason score (p=0.05). In addition, the Gleason scores of both protocols were assigned to three groups (Gleason7; Gleason 7; Gleason7), and the group changes from the biopsy to the prostatectomy specimen were found to be significantly more frequent in the CB group (p=0.04). There was no significant difference between the two types of biopsy techniques regarding tumor stage or the detection of insignificant carcinomas. The advantage of the extensive prostate needle biopsy technique (SB) is a better preoperative prediction of the Gleason score as well as the risk groups with Gleason scores7, equal to 7, or7. Both techniques fail to detect insignificant prostate cancer.

Urolithiasis is expected to cause a considerable complication in patients with systemic mastocytosis. The aim of the present report is to demonstrate that due to pathological activation and irritability of mast cells, special features in the diagnostic investigation and therapy of urolithiasis have to be considered in patients with systemic mastocytosis. The clinical presentation, diagnostic investigation and therapeutic procedure of urolithiasis in a patient with systemic mastocytosis are described. Urolithiasis may be a significant complication of systemic mastocytosis. Non-contrast CT is the main tool for diagnosing urolithiasis after a detailed history and clinical exam. Patients with systemic mastocytosis should receive a premedication composed of a glucocorticoid and H(1)- and H(2)-histamine receptor antagonists. An increased vulnerability of mucosal tissues is expected in patients with systemic mastocytosis that may limit the options of operative and postoperative therapy. Opioids should be used cautiously for analgesia in patients with systemic mastocytosis.
