Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and strong problem in the diagnosis of which based on measurement of BUN and serum creatinine. ese traditional methods are not sensitive and speci�c for the diagnosis of AKI. AKI is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients and a quick detection is impossible with BUN and serum creatinine. A number of serum and urinary proteins have been identi�ed that may messenger AKI prior to a rise in BUN and serum creatinine. New biomarkers of AKI, including NGAL, KIM-1, cystatin-C, IL-18, and L-FABP, are more favourable tests than creatinine which have been identi�ed and studied in several experimental and clinical training.is paper will discuss some of these new biomarkers and their potential as useful signs of AKI.We searched the literature using PubMed andMEDLINE with acute kidney injury, urine, and serum new biomarkers and the articles were selected only from publication types in English. 1

A case report: paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma

Intrascrotal diagnosed masses are often localized to testicle. Others located in extratesticular areas mostly ariss from paratesticular tissues. It accounts for approximately 1%-2% of all pediatric solid masses and incidence is about 0,5-2 among 100000 patients (1). Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcomas, which are rarely seen malignant tumors arises in the mesenchymal tissue of the spermatic cord and are responsible from 75% of all rhabdomyosarcoma cases, and also 17% of pediatric malignant intrascrotal tumors (2). In this report, we reviewed a patient presented with a scrotal swelling and diagnosed as paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma after radical orchiectomy
