Peri-hilar branching patterns and morphologies of the renal artery: a review and anatomical study.
(2008)
The peri-hilar (extra-parenchymal) branching pattern of the renal artery is important for surgeons to know prior to kidney transplantation. The aim of this study was to identify the variations in peri-hilar branching pattern ...
Hypophosphatemic encephalopathy in a CAPD patient.
