Abstract:
The formation of urinary calculi following renal transplantation is rare event with a frequency of less than 5%. Although infection, renal tubular acidosis and cyclosporine-induced hyperuricosuria can predispose toward stone formation in a renal allograft. The modalities of treatment used, were percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, shock wave lithotripsy and chemolysis. We report a case in which a double-J ureteral stent that had been forgotten for 10 years induced staghorn calculi in allograft. The stone was successfully removed by percutaneous ultrasonic nephrolithotripsy through graft renal pelvis.
