Anuria Secondary to Bilateral Obstructing Ureteral Stones in the Absence of Renal Colic

BACKGROUND Obstructing ureteral stones are a rare cause of anuria, which is typically from prerenal or renal etiologies. Classically, obstructive stones cause moderate to severe renal colic. Urolithiasis is rarely considered during evaluation of painless anuria. CASE PRESENTATION We present an unusual case of a 73-year-old Caucasian female who presented with anuria and was found to have large...

Abnormal renal tubular back-diffusion following anuria.

A negative value for Tmp-aminobippurate was observed in a patient with sulfathiazole intoxication following 4 days of anuria and 5 days of marked oliguria. This negative Tmps is interpreted as indicating not only that the tubule cells had lost their ability to excrete PAH but that a portion of the PAH filtered by the glomeruli was escaping from the tubular urine by back-diffusion. It is the pur...
