Abstract

Anuria is a urological emergency that can occur due to prerenal, renal or postrenal causes. Generally, treatment of postrenal anuria is performed with endoscopic or open surgical procedures using DJ stents. Although these stents are safe and practical, they may cause adverse effects, which vary from urinary tract infections to renal failure, if they are implanted long-term in the body. We present a case of a forgotten DJ stent that was implanted for 4 years in a solitary kidney for the management of anuria. We also present multimodal stone treatment of the patient in addition to a brief review of the literature.
