In the present study a prevalence of 50% of third-stage larvae of D. renale was recorded in 60 specimens of the freshwater turtle Trachemys dorbigni from southern Brazil. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The present report contributes to the importance of observing during cavity surgery the anatomy of the viscera and the presence of in the direction of clinical surgeon to anticipate the emergence of any kind of clinical symptoms caused by this nematode [scielo.org.co]

There is a low incidence of human infection, but infestation of human kidneys has been reported, typically due to the consumption of infected mollusks Most cases of human infection present with symptoms including (but not limited to) severe pain in the [dovemed.com]

  loss, and irritation of the ureter due to the movement and destruction of the kidneys by the parasite Dioctophymiasis can result in the eventual destruction of renal functional tissue, leaving only the remains of the kidney capsule filled with fluid [dovemed.com]

  Background When painless haematuria is associated with a mass in the flank, severe anaemia and significant weight loss, renal cell carcinoma is highly suspected. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Vomiting

  Some patients vomit. Unless the worm is identified in the urine, accurate diagnosis is difficult. Three cases have been reported in which the worm was subcutaneous. [isradiology.org]

Epidemiology and Pathology D. renale is a large red worm (20 to 100-cm by 5 to 12-mm in the case of the females; the males are smaller, 14 to 20-cm. The life cycle includes an intermediate host and the definitive host is a mammal. [isradiology.org]
