Sažetak
We report a case of a 31-year-old patient with obstructive ureterolithiasis in a transplanted
kidney, treated endoscopically with flexible ureterorenoscopy and laser lithotripsy. The patient
presented with biochemical signs of acute renal failure and ultrasonographically detected hydronephrosis.
Emergency nonenhanced computed tomography scan revealed an obstructive 5-mm stone in the
ureter of the transplanted kidney with resulting hydronephrosis. The patient received a double J stent to
relieve allograft obstruction. Since the stone size was deemed favorable for conservative treatment, the
patient was discharged. Two months later, he was readmitted for leucopenia caused by mycophenolate
mofetil. After recuperation of his white blood cell count, he was referred to extracorporeal shock wave
lithotripsy, but since the stone was radiolucent, an endoscopic procedure was indicated. Retrograde endoscopic
flexible ureterorenoscopy with ‘dusting’ of the stone was successfully performed. One year after
the procedure, the patient was stone free and with good allograft function.
