Abstract

Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is a response to erythropoiesis failure in bone marrow, and is mostly encountered in the liver and spleen. Renal involvement is rare and the radiological literature on renal EMH is scant. We report the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of one such rare case of renal EMH in a young boy, appearing as a unilateral renal hilar mass.

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.
