Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy of ureteral stone in a patient with en bloc kidney transplantation: a case report.

Abstract

We report a case of ureterolithiasis in a patient with an en bloc kidney transplantation, using extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL). The patient presented with asymptomatic macrohematuria. Computed tomography revealed a ureteral calculus just below the pyeloureteral junction with hydronephrosis of the medially positioned kidney. Took two sessions of ESWL were required for complete disintegration of the stone. At 3 years after successful treatment, the patient has an excellent functioning and stone-free graft.
