AI Article Synopsis
- A 51-year-old man developed bilateral hydronephrosis and ureteric rupture after undergoing a rectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, a complication not previously reported in literature.
- The patient was successfully treated with bilateral double-J stent insertion and intravenous antibiotics, leading to complete recovery.
- The literature includes various causes of hydronephrosis and ureteric rupture, such as malignancy, kidney stones, and trauma, which can result in serious complications like urinomas, infections, and renal impairment.
Article Abstract
Development of bilateral hydronephrosis and ureteric rupture has never been reported in the published literature so far. We describe a case of 51years old gentleman who developed this complication after-rectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy. The patient was treated with bilateral double-J stent insertion, intravenous antibiotic therapy and recovered completely. There have been reports of hydronephrosis with or without ureteric rupture in the world literature. The causes reported have been such as malignancy, stones, retroperitoneal fibrosis, iatrogenic manipulation, trauma, degenerative kidney conditions and spontaneous causes. This could lead to development of retroperitoneal urinoma, urosepsis, abscess formation, infection and renal impairment.

Background/objectives: The anteroposterior renal pelvis diameter (APRPD) is used to assess the grade of urinary tract dilatation (UTD). There is no univocal method stratifying the risk of complications related to postnatal UTD. This study aims to identify APRPD cut-offs at birth to determine outcome stratification and second-level exams.

Introduction: Prior analysis of children with grade 3 and 4 congenital hydronephrosis demonstrated that renal medullary pyramidal thickness (PT) is predictive of subsequent pyeloplasty (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.78). The objective of this study was to further analyze the utility of sonographic measurements including PT, anteroposterior pelvic diameter (APD), and renal length with an expansion of the number of infants with hydronephrotic kidneys including grades 2, 3, and 4 hydronephrosis.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment of systemic cancer therapy. During disinhibiting the antitumor responses of immune system, ICIs may also cause unique immune-related adverse events (irAEs) which could affect any organ. Here, we report a rare case of sintilimab-induced ureteritis/cystitis in a 55-year-old male undergoing neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy for gastric cancer.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare disease with a nonspecific presentation. RPF can be classified into Idiopathic, the most common, or secondary due to malignancy and various medications resulting in chronic inflammation and fibrosis in the retroperitoneum. The complications arise due to the compression of structures in the retroperitoneum.
