Abstract: | A 65-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for further examination of recurrent urinary stone formation. She had undergone 49 sessions of extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripay (ESWL) and 3 sessions of transureteral lithotripsy (TUL) under the diagnosis of idiopathic recurrent urolithiasis at another hospital. An excretory urography showed bilateral hydronephrosis and a retrograde urography revealed bilateral lower ureteral stricture. Ammonium chloride loading test demonstrated incomplete distal renal tubular acidosis. Potassium citrate therapy had begun and bilateral nephrostomies were required in order to prevent recurrent urinary tract infection and new stone formation. Literature was reviewed and discussion was made on the ureteral stricture after ESWL and TUL, and on incomplete distal renal tubular acidosis. |
