TL;DR: The goal of these Guidelines is to summarise and evaluate all the currently available evidence to assist physicians in selecting the best management strategies for all patients needing VA or for pathologies derived from a VA.

TL;DR: At least 1 kidney appeared to be irreversibly damaged in more than 20% of patients and urologists should be mindful of the role of smoking role as a risk factor, complications arising from vascular and large bowel obstructions, and the possible association of retroperitoneal fibrosis with autoimmune disease.

TL;DR: The values of reliability and accuracy of this assessment tool are high enough to be used also for high-stakes examinations in the field of abdominal ultrasound and provides an opportunity for designing different OSCE versions with different levels of reliability.

TL;DR: Tamoxifen is an alternative in the medical treatment of RPF, especially if patients want to avoid glucocorticoids and the potential of regression of fibrosis seems to be slightly inferior and the relapse rate is higher compared to steroids, but the rate of successful DJ removals is comparable.

TL;DR: Although therapy guidelines for TTS currently do not exist, it is found that the majority of patients were treated with antithrombotic and heart failure therapy for up to twelve months and a low bleeding rate and a high short-term survival are found.
