A 30 years old
lady first presented with left flank pain, fever with chills and rigor and
lethargy. An ultrasound of the KUB system shows left kidney hydronephrosis with
dilatation of pelvicalyceal system and debris with layering of low level
echogenic foci. She was then proceed with CT scan and a diagnosis of left kidney
pyonephrosis with left ureterolithiasis was made.
Left kidney
percutaneous nephrostomy done and drains 500 cc of pus. 28 days later, she was
planned for stenting to relieve the obstruction but failed as the catheter are
unable to get through. An IVU was then performed which shows feature of non
functioning left kidney and she was subjected for left nephectomy.
