Key Clinical Message Bilateral ureterolithiasis is rare but can cause acute kidney injury (AKI). Clinicians should first examine for post‐renal causes of AKI, even if the patient lacks subjective symptoms. Abstract This letter describes a case of bilateral ureterolithiasis which presented with post‐renal acute kidney injury (AKI) and was successfully treated by bilateral retrograde ureteric stenting. Clinicians should be aware of post‐renal AKI caused by bilateral ureterolithiasis when acute worsening of renal function with oliguria is observed.
