Abstract

Renal lymphangiomatosis is a very rare disorder, with only a few reported cases. We present a case of bilateral renal lymphangiomatosis, manifested by bilateral flank pain, that was falsely diagnosed as hydronephrosis. Excretory urographic, ultrasonographic, and computed tomographic urographic findings are described.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
