Abstract:
A kidney containing more than 1,000ml fluid in its collecting system is generally defined as giant hydronephrosis. The clinical manifestations of giant hydronephrosis are indistinct. The patient seems to seek medical help late due to tolerable symptoms and particularly in the state of poor economic condition. We present a giant hydronephrosis of contents of 60 liters associated with ureteropelvic junction stricture on a 43-year-old woman. The final diagnosis was performed by exploration of abdomen and nephrectomy was done.
