Chronic Renal Insufficiency in an Adolescent Male with Bilateral Urolithiasis: A Case Report.
Abstract
Summary : The rare case of a 15-year-old male adolescent with chronic renal insufficiency, bilateral hydronephrosis, and urolithiasis, is presented. Characteristic features included abdominal mass, delayed presentation, marked growth retardation and profound anaemia. In the absence of a lithotripser, a combination of ureteroplasty and nephrectomy of the more severely affected kidney was carried out. Other constraints encountered in the course of management included: parental poverty and iynomance and dearth of facilities for renal replacement therapy.
