Abstract
INTRODUCTION The current study aimed to describe genotypes associated with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in a cohort of Saudi and non-Saudi patients and discuss their possible susceptibility to HL. METHODS We studied clinical, histopathological, and laboratory findings of HL patients admitted over 12 years duration, at King Fahd University Hospital, KSA. The genomic DNAs of HL patients (n = 61) and normal control subjects (n = 36) were extracted, and genotyping was performed using the Illumina human exome bead chip. Set of HL patients and set of normal controls were included in this study. RESULTS A total of 35 DNA variants were found to be highly significant with the P-value <9.90 × 10-11 among 243 345 exonic biomarkers and obeying the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Nine, MEGF11-rs150945752 (P-value 1.20 × 10-12 ), CACNA1I- s58055559 (P-value 1.93 × 10-12 ), DECR2-rs146760080 (P-value 2.19 × 10-12 ), STAB1-rs143894786 (P-value 2.45 × 10-12 ), ZNF526-rs144433879 (P-value 2.76 × 10-12 ), CPLANE1-rs200612080 (P-value 3.77 × 10-12 ), DLK1-rs1058009 (P-value 5.95 × 10-12 ), RTN4RL2-rs61745214 (P-value 7.71 × 10-12 ), and PGRMC1-rs145582672 (P-value 8.56 × 10-12 ), exonic variants on chromosomes 15, 22, and 16 were highly associated with HL cases. THE HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT HAPLOTYPES AT CHROMOSOME 3: rs143894786G; rs149982219G with P-value = 3.43 × 10-14 was found to be the risk haplotype for the HL patients. The opposite alleles at chromosome 3: rs143894786A; rs149982219G is protective with P-value = 2.46 × 10-12 . Maximum number of SNPs at the chromosome 19: rs144433879C; rs181265966G; rs201144421C; rs145591797G; rs200560875G; rs77270337G (risk P-value = 2.24 × 10-12 ) and its opposite allele rs144433879A; rs181265966A; rs201144421T; rs145591797A; rs200560875A; rs77270337A (protective P-value = 2.60 × 10-9 ) were found to be associated haplotype with the HL and controls, respectively, in Saudi population. CONCLUSION Our study concludes that the HL is genetically heterogeneous with multigene causation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To assess the predictors for conservative management failure and long term outcomes after isolated blunt high grade renal trauma (HGRT). METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients with isolated blunt HGRT (renal trauma grade ≥ IV) was conducted. Patients' demographics, clinical presentation, laboratory and radiological investigations, and different lines of treatment were retrieved. The primary outcome was to assess the predictors of conservative treatment failure (need for active bleeding control e.g.: transarterial angioembolization (TAE) and/or surgical exploration). The secondary outcome was to assess the renal parenchymal volume (RPV) changes post HGRT in correlation with the different lines of management using CT-measured RPV. The difference in RPV ≥ 5% at follow up was considered significant. RESULTS The study included 63 patients, mean (SD) age was 35.1 (16.6) years. Conservative management was successful in 39 patients (62%), while the need for active bleeding control was required in 16 and 8 patients who underwent TAE and surgical exploration, respectively. Increased hematoma rim distance (HRD), laceration numbers > 3, parenchymal devascularization ≥ 25%, and presence of vascular contrast extravasation (VCE) were predictors for conservative treatment failure (P= 0.006, 0.02, 0.045 and 0.002, respectively). After a mean of 19 months follow up, patients were subclassified into 2 groups: patients with preserved RPV (28 patients) and patients with decreased RPV (29 patients). Renal parenchymal devascularization ≥ 25% was found a predictor for ipsilateral RPV decrease (P = 0.02). CONCLUSION Increased HRD, laceration numbers > 3, parenchymal devascularization ≥ 25%, and presence of VCE are findings that reflect the necessity for active bleeding interventions after isolated blunt HGRT. Parenchymal devascularization ≥ 25% is an independent factor for RPV deterioration. Neither the grade of renal trauma nor the type of treatment is a predictor for such deterioration.

Abstract
De novo renal allograft tumors were reported sporadically. Most of them were small, low-grade, and papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) type. A 46-year-old male presented with hematuria three decades after the first transplant. The patient had a history of three renal transplants. A tumor (12 cm × 13 cm) was diagnosed in the nonfunctioning first transplanted kidney. Radical nephrectomy of the graft harboring the tumor with preservation of the adjacent functioning graft was done and identified to be chromophobe RCC. After two-year follow-up, the patients had a perfect graft function with no evidence of oncological failure. We suggest that allograft tumor be considered in patient evaluation for hematuria. Regular follow-up imaging of transplanted kidney is mandatory even after graft failure for early detection of graft tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess surgical complications, febrile UTI, graft function and 5-year graft survival after renal transplantation (RT) in patients with augmentation cytsoplasty (AC) and to compare them to RT patients with normal lower urinary tract. MATERIALS AND METHODS A case-control study of 34 RT patients with AC including 23 patients with enterocystoplasty (EC) and 11 patients with ureterocystoplasty (UC) was performed. The primary outcome was to determine the difference between both groups regarding postoperative surgical complications and febrile UTI episodes. Graft function was compared at 1, 3, and 5 years and 5-year graft survival was determined. The secondary outcome was to compare them to an age- and gender-matched control group (122 patients) with normal lower urinary tract. RESULTS There was no significant difference regarding surgical complications or rates of hospital readmission between AC groups. Seventeen (73.9%) and 5 (45.5%) patients developed 33 and 14 episodes of febrile UTI in EC and UC groups, respectively (P= .5). Control group had shown lower incidence surgical complications (P = .001) and febrile UTIs (P = .02) compared to AC groups. At 3 and 5 years, UC had higher median eGFR than EC (P = .08, 0.008, respectively). The 5-year graft survival was 32 (94.1%) with no statistically significant difference between EC (95.7%) and UC (90.9%) (P = .5) or between AC and control (85.2%, P = .3). CONCLUSION Although RT after AC was associated with higher surgical complications and UTI episodes, they had comparable 5-year graft survival to their control. When indicated, UC should be the preferred choice of AC whenever possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to develop and internally validate a simple stone score (SSS) to estimate the probability of clinically significant residual fragments (CSRF) prior to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL). METHODS The files of 1170 PNL procedures between January and December 2015 were evaluated. CT-derived stone characteristics were examined. Caliceal stone distribution (CSD) was assigned three grades based on the number of calices involved regardless of the renal pelvis (I = no or single calix; II = more than one calix; and III = more than 2 calices or complete staghorn stones). CSRF was defined as any residuals >4 mm in postoperative CT. A logistic regression model to predict the CSRF was fitted, and coefficients were used to develop the SSS. The SSS was validated by discrimination, calibration, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Patients' data were split into training (936, 80%) and validating (234, 20%) datasets. In the training partition, independent predictors of CSRF were CSD-grade II (OR: 4.2; 95%CI: 2.5-7; P<0.001), grade III (OR: 7.8; 95%CI: 4.2-14.4; P<0.001) and largest stone diameter (LSD) (OR:1.3; 95%CI: 1.1-1.6; P<0.001). Score points 0, 1, 2, and 0, 3, 9 were given to LSD<30, 30-40, >40 mm, and CSD grades I, II, III, respectively. Discrimination of the SSS was 0.79 and after 10-fold cross-validation and internal validation was 0.86. The calibration plot and DCA highlighted the validity and clinical significance of the SSS. CONCLUSIONS The novel SSS could be used to describe the risk of CSRF prior to PNL. Further studies are invited for external validation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the overall effect of ERAS protocol implementation in patients undergoing radical cystectomy and its impact on the length of hospital stay (LOS) and surgical outcomes considering their comorbid conditions. METHODS Retrospective cohort study including 296 patients (146 non-ERAS patients vs. 150 ERAS patients) undergoing radical cystectomy and urinary diversion from 2010 to 2018. Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI) score eight was set as cut off value between low-risk and high-risk patients. The primary outcome was LOS. Secondary outcomes were time to bowel movements, tolerance of regular diet, the incidence of postoperative ileus, postoperative complications, and 30- and 90-day readmission rates. RESULTS A higher comorbidity burden was identified in the ERAS group compared to non-ERAS patients (p = 0.04). Median (IQR) LOS for non-ERAS was group 8(4) and 8(5) for ERAS group (p = 0.07). ERAS group demonstrated shorter time to resume bowel movements as well as time to tolerance of regular diet (p = 0.007, p = 0.023, respectively). Low-risk patients managed by the ERAS protocol demonstrated a significantly shortened gastrointestinal (GIT) recovery time (p = 0.001) as well as a reduction of LOS (p = 0.04). No significant reduction of LOS was identified for patients with higher comorbidity when placed on the ERAS protocol (p = 0.65). There were no significant differences in postoperative complications or readmission rates between groups. CONCLUSION ERAS protocol implementation following radical cystectomy showed significant improvements in GIT recovery, nevertheless, it did not result in a decrease in LOS or readmission rates. Low-risk patients appeared to derive more benefit from ERAS protocol implementation than high-risk patients.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the long-term outcomes after pyeloplasty for pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) associated with renal anomalies. Patients and methods: Data were collected for patients after pyeloplasty for PUJO associated with renal anomalies and analysed retrospectively. Long-term functional success was evaluated by comparing the renographic split renal function (SRF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at last follow-up with baseline values. A change of 5% in SRF was considered significant. Factors affecting functional outcome were assessed. The outcomes were compared to an age, sex and renal function matched group with PUJO in otherwise normal kidneys (Group 2) to evaluate the pattern of difference in functional recoverability in both groups. This was assessed using repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: The study initially included 70 adult patients, with a mean age of 31.8 years. At a median of 44 months, 55 patients completed follow-up (Group 1) and no statistically significant changes in GFR (P = 0.7) and SRF (P = 0.06) were found. In all, 17, four and 34 patients showed a decrease, increase and static SRF (functional success rate was 69%). Higher preoperative SRF (P = 0.02) and Anderson–Hynes (A–H) pyeloplasty (P = 0.003) were associated with functional preservation. In the comparison with the other matched group (Group 2), the patients in Group 2 had better functional recoverability after pyeloplasty than patients with associated anomalies [GFR (P = 0.001), SRF (P = 0.002) and functional success (P = 0.001)]. Conclusion: Functional preservation after pyeloplasty in associated renal anomalies could be achieved in 69% of patients, which was significantly lower than those with otherwise normal kidneys. A–H pyeloplasty and higher preoperative SRF were associated with better functional outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction Some patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) have supranormal differential renal function (snDRF). We aimed to study the outcomes of pyeloplasty in adult patients with UPJO and either snDRF or normal differential renal function (nDRF) and to identify preoperative factors responsible for the snDRF phenomenon. Materials and Methods We retrospectively retrieved data for all patients who underwent pyeloplasty and had snDRF (differential renal function [DRF] ≥55%) and nDRF (DRF between 45 and 55%) preoperatively. Preoperative radiological data using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging were correlated with the presence of snDRF phenomenon. In addition, scintigraphic findings pre- and post-operatively were also assessed to evaluate the functional outcomes. Results Of a total of 856 patients, 31 had snDRF (group 1) and 42 had nDRF (group 2). After a mean of 37 months' follow-up in Group 1, 22 patients developed DRF reduction with non-obstructive pattern. Mean DRF % decreased from 59 ± 2.8 to 48 ± 13 (P < 0.0001). However, in Group 2, five patients had DRF decrease. Four patients developed snDRF phenomenon postoperatively. Increased renal pelvis volume ≥50 mm3 and increased anteroposterior pelvic diameter (APD) ≥37 mm were found to predict snDRF phenomenon. The same findings, in addition to preoperative snDRF, correlated with postoperative DRF decrease. Conclusion SnDRF function could be expected in patients with increased renal pelvis volume and APD. The absolute value or changes in DRF are not reliable to judge treatment failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adrenal tumors can be detected incidentally in 4 to 8% of patients radiologically. Adenomas, pheochromocytomas, and adrenocortical carcinomas represent the most common tumors of the adrenal glands. Rare histopathological findings are uncommon. We aimed to report two rare primary adrenal tumors diagnosed initially as incidentalomas to identify clinical characteristics, management, and clinical outcomes after treatment. CASE PRESENTATION The first case was a 52-year-old man presented with an incidentally discovered locally advanced primary adrenal angiosarcoma. The patient was managed surgically with no adjuvant therapy. The patient was followed up for 3 years without evidence of local recurrence. The second case was a 63-year-old woman, presented with an incidentally discovered primary diffuse B-cell lymphoma of the left adrenal gland. She was treated by adrenalectomy. Later on, adjuvant six cycles of CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone) chemotherapy were given. After 6 months follow-up, the patient was alive and disease-free. CONCLUSION The diagnosis of adrenal tumors increased nowadays because of the widespread use of imaging studies, though rare pathologies should be taken into consideration.

Abstract
Introduction Stem cell therapy at the time of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury has been hypothesized to attenuate the severity of acute kidney injury and to accelerate the regeneration process in lower animal models. Data in higher animal models is limited and discordant. We aimed to explore the reno-protective effects of stem cells on I/R related renal injury in a canine model. Materials and Methods Twenty-seven dogs that were treated with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) were compared with another 27 dogs treated with adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AT-MSCs) following 90 min of warm ischemia to assess IR injury. Each group was divided into three subgroups (nine dogs each), according to the stem cell dose (5, 10, 15 × 106 in 500 μl volume) injected directly into the renal cortex after reperfusion. All dogs were re-evaluated by renogram, histopathology, and pro-inflammatory markers at 2 weeks, 2, and 3 months. Results In Group I, there was a mean reduction of creatinine clearance by 78%, 64%, and 74% at the three used doses, respectively, at 2 weeks. At 3 months, these kidneys regained a mean of 84%, 92%, and 72%, respectively, of its basal function. In Group II, the reduction of clearance was much more modest with mean of 14%, 6%, and 24% respectively at 2 weeks with more intense recovery of renal function by mean of 90%, 100%, and 76%, respectively, at 3 months. Group I had significantly more tubular necrosis and delayed regeneration compared with the Group II. Expressions of pro-inflammatory markers were upregulated in both the groups with a higher and more sustained expression in Group I. Conclusion Stem cells protected against ischemic reperfusion injury in a canine model. AT-MSCs provided better protection than BM-MSCs.

Single Versus Maintenance Intravesical Chemotherapy for the Prevention of Bladder Recurrence after Radical Nephroureterectomy for Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: A Randomized Clinical Trial. Clin Genitourin Cancer 2019; 17:e1108-e1115.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to determine the efficiency of 1-year maintenance intravesical chemotherapy (MIC) in reducing bladder recurrence (BR) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma compared with single intravesical instillation (SIC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 2015 and May 2017, patients who underwent RNU were randomized to receive SIC (epirubicin 50 mg) or MIC (once weekly for 6 weeks plus once monthly for 1 year). The primary outcome was the rate of histologically proven BR. The secondary outcomes included chemotherapy-related toxicities and disease-specific survival (DSS). Thirty-five patients in each arm were required to achieve a power of 80%. RESULTS A total of 38 (SIC) and 36 (MIC) patients were analyzed. In SIC, BR developed in 5 (13.2%) over a median follow-up of 3 months (range, 3-6 months) compared with 9 (25%) patients over 12 months (range, 3-28 months) in MIC (P = .08). The 6- and 12-month BR-free survivals were the same (86.8%) in SIC versus 88.9% and 83.3% in MIC, respectively (P = .2). Lymphovascular invasion was significantly associated with BR (P = .04). Post-RNU intravesical chemotherapy regimens did not alter DSS. Blood transfusion and advanced tumor stage were independent predictors for DSS. No significant medication toxicity was reported. CONCLUSIONS Following RNU, MIC did not change the natural course of BR beyond a single instillation apart from potentially delaying its occurrence. Lymphovascular invasion and blood transfusion were associated with worse BR and DSS outcomes, respectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE In view of the differences in early and late management experiences based on Huang and Tseng CT classification of emphysematous pyelonephritis (EP), our study included 34 patients aimed to re-correlate the current management plans with CT classification. METHODS A retrospective review from January 2009 to December 2018, in patients with primary or final diagnosis of EP. Data included; patients' demographics, routine laboratory and imaging work-up. CT was performed for all, and images were classified based on Huang and Tseng classification. The CT classification was correlated to the laboratory parameters and the final treatment plans. Data were collected and analyzed using SPSS®. RESULTS Complete data for 34 patients were analyzed. The majority (70%) had positive urine culture, and Carbapenems and Ureidopenicillin were the most commonly used antibiotics. Based on CT classification, 75% (26/34) of the patients were in class I and II, 6 cases with class IIIa, and only two with class IIIb, with no cases of class IV. All patients in class I and II responded well to the medical therapy, and eight required PCN/DJ. Four required nephrectomy in class III, with zero mortality. CONCLUSION Patients in class I and II comprise the majority of EP patients, and respond well to medical treatment with excellent outcome. Insertion of PCN and DJ are not required routinely, but with urinary obstruction requiring drainage, and a few cases who required nephrectomy-all with class III. Our data show improvement in the overall survival in patients for EP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accepting donors with renal lesion amenable for pre-transplant management with no suspected long-term harm seems to expand the live-donor pool. We aimed to assess the long-term outcome of live-donor renal transplantation with incidentally discovered renal angiomyolipoma (AML) during routine evaluation of donors. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective evaluation of incidentally discovered AML, during live-related-donor evaluation, was performed. The tumor criteria were retrieved. In cases with exophytic tumor, a back-table, partial nephrectomy was done with frozen section to exclude malignancy. Endophytic lesions were kept in situ and transplanted. Both donor and recipient were followed up by periodic imaging. RESULTS Among 2925 cases, 6 AML with a median volume of 0.96 (range, 0.5-2) cm2 were identified. The median recipients' age was 21 (range, 10-38) years and the median donors' age was 48 (range, 45-50). Two AML were exophytic and back-table partial nephrectomy was performed, while 4 were endophytic and kept in situ, and the kidney was transplanted. After a median follow-up of 82 (range, 25-150) months, 4 patients were alive with functioning grafts and 2 resumed hemodialysis 5 and 7 years after transplantation. There was no evidence of increase in the AML size or newly developed AML in the grafts. All donors were alive with normal renal function (mean ± standard deviation, serum creatinine was 0.9 ± 0.2 mg/dL) and none developed new AML in the remaining kidney. CONCLUSION Incidentally discovered AML during live-donor evaluation is not a contraindication of donation after proper counseling of the couples and regular, periodic follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to report our 25-year experience on upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) on a larger number of patients with long-term follow-up at a single tertiary urology institute. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 275 patients from 1990 to 2015. Basic patient demographic data with the laboratory and radiologic investigations were collected. We used 1997 TNM classification and the three-tiered WHO grading system. Data were collected using an SPSS® version 21 spreadsheet. RESULTS The mean age was 59±11 years, and 88% of all the patients were male. Previous and concurrent bladder tumors were found in 16% and 26%, respectively. Computed tomography gave an overall accuracy of 96%. Open nephroureterectomy and bladder cuff excision was performed for 85%, and the remaining by laparoscopy and nephron-sparing surgeries. Tumor was pelvicalyceal, ureteric, and both in 40%, 40%, and 20% respectively. In 97% of the patients, the tumor was transitional cell carcinoma. Nearly two-thirds of the patients were of low grade and non-invasive in stage. Nearly half of the patients (46%) had bladder tumor recurrence after NU. Bladder, urethral, and contralateral recurrence, distant, local metastasis occurred in 46%, 2%, 1%, 7.5%, and 6%, respectively. CONCLUSION UTUC is a unique disease with synchronous and metachronous urothelial tumor recurrence that requires long-term surveillance. The majority (two-thirds) of the patients are non-invasive in stage of grade II. Tumor stage is of paramount prognostic significance for survival; the five-year survival rate of T1 and T4 is 80% and 0%, respectively.
