Bilateral Ureteral Stones Causing Anuria: A Case Report

Introduction: Bilateral ureteral stone is not known to frequently result in anuria during emergency. Case Report: An 18-year-old male patient was admitted to an emergency department with the complaint of sudden inability to urinate. He did not mention any additional complaints. On conducting a physical examination, we could not detect any pathological findings. From the patient's blood tests, potassium and creatinine levels were found to be 6.4 mmol/L and 9.81 mg/dL, respectively. Subsequently, we found bilateral ureteral stones on ultrasonography and non-contrast spiral computed tomography. Urology consultation was requested. The patient undergoing emergency surgery had ureterorenoscopy, bilateral endoscopic retrograde basket, and DJ stents procedures done by urology. During the follow-up, the patient was able to urinate, and his creatinine and potassium levels decreased. The patient was discharged. Conclusion: For patients admitted with complaint of anuria, we should keep in mind that the patient could have bilateral ureteral stones; therefore, he or she may have acute kidney failure and may subsequently require emergency surgery.
