    Author: Yossepowitch O, Baniel J.
    Journal: Nat Clin Pract Urol; 2005 Oct; 2(10):511-5; quiz 516. PubMed ID: 16474625.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: A 19-year-old mentally retarded man with failed exstrophy repair and ureterosigmoidostomy urinary diversion presented with high fever, vomiting and right-flank pain of 2 days' duration. Past medical history was notable for a left nephrectomy to treat an infected staghorn calculus in a poorly functioning kidney. Physical examination revealed pyrexia and right-flank tenderness. INVESTIGATIONS: Physical examination, renal function tests, electrolyte and metabolic assessment, urine and blood cultures, abdominal CT, ANTEGRADE PYELOURETEROGRAPHY, sigmoidoscopy and histopathology. DIAGNOSIS: Ureterosigmoidostomy complicated by acute pyelonephritis, obstructive uropathy, recurrent urinary tract infections, renal impairment and the development of renal stones and metabolic acidosis. MANAGEMENT: Fluids, intravenous antibiotics, bicarbonate and potassium supplementation, and rediversion of ureterosigmoidostomy to an ileal conduit.
