Wcn26-4874 a Case of Nephrocalcinosis With Hypokalemia, Hypocalcemia, Hypertension, and Recurrent Muscle Weskness

RSReiko SunamiKMKazutoshi MurakamiTIT Ishida

Key Points

  • The case examines nephrocalcinosis alongside hypokalemia and other complications following pelvic surgery.
  • Analyzed clinical symptoms and complications post-surgery
  • Conducted early CT evaluations to assess renal dysfunction
  • Implemented multidisciplinary management for effective treatment
  • Identified ureteral injury as a common cause of renal dysfunction
  • Total nephrectomy was necessary for cases with giant urinoma and irreversible obstruction
  • Early intervention improved patient outcomes

Abstract

Conclusion:Postoperative ureteral injury should always be suspected in patients presenting with flank mass and renal dysfunction after pelvic surgery.Early CT evaluation and multidisciplinary management are crucial to prevent irreversible renal loss.Total nephrectomy remains a life-saving intervention in giant urinoma with irreversible obstruction.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
