Unilateral ureteric stone associated with gross hydronephrosis and kidney shrinkage: a cadaveric report

Abstract

Ureteric stones are a common cause of obstruction of the urinary tract, usually presenting with characteristic signs and symptoms, such as acute ureteric colic and hematuria. Occasionally, stones may present with non-specific symptoms such as low back pain and remain unidentified, leading to stone growth, chronic ureteric obstruction and complications such as hydronephrosis and renal damage. Here, we report a large ureteric stone in a cadaver with complete obstruction at the left ureterovesical junction, resulting in severe dilatation of the left ureter and renal pelvis.

A Cadaveric Report on a Giant Ureteric Stone Led Right Hydro Ureter and Severe Hydronephrosis

“…Studies in the western population revealed that urolithiasis is more common in males (124 per 1000) than in females (36 per 100,000) (3). The present case was also observed in a male cadaver and is similar to the case reported by Iravani et al in 2014 (4). Ureteric or renal calculi lead to various degrees of complications like -Hydronephrosis, renal damage, urinary tract infection and urosepsis.…”

Natural History of Conservatively Managed Ureteral Stones: Analysis of 6600 Patients

“…Ureter stone has a lifetime prevalence of 10% to 15% and is one of the most common urological presentations in the emergency department (3,4). Patients experience severe flank pain radiating to groin because of sudden obstruction of the ureter, with associated risks of hydronephrosis, renal damage, infection of the urinary tract and severe sepsis (5).…”

rAAV-based gene therapy for molybdenum cofactor deficiency type B

“…A reverse flow of the urine, i.e. from the bladder back into the kidneys, can result in hydronephrosis and cause permanent and severe damage to the kidneys, resulting in kidney failure (Iravani et al, 2014). In order to proof a possible renal involvement in the Mocs2 -/phenotype, histopathological analyses of kidney sections was performed.…”
