Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis-presentation as acute renal failure in a child with a solitary kidney.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Renal dyslipoproteinemia is characterized by the accumulation of intact and partially metabolized triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Reduced lipolytic enzyme activities may be one of the major pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to a retarded catabolism of these lipoproteins in patients with renal insuff...
