Abstract |
Secondary polycythemia is a condition that causes an increase in red blood cell count either because of the physiologic response to stress or inappropriate secretion of erythropoietin. We report a case of a secondary polycythemia caused by ureteropelvic junction obstruction that was successfully treated by laparoscopic nephrectomy.
