Felbamate (FBM) urolithiasis is a rare condition that can cause painful hematuria and urinary obstruction. Discontinuation of FBM and managing contributing factors can resolve FBM stones.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Urology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Felbamate (FBM) is an anticonvulsant medication.
  • Urolithiasis, or kidney stone formation, is a common condition with various etiologies.
  • The potential for FBM to cause urolithiasis has been an area of clinical interest.

Observation:

  • A 15-year-old male presented with painful hematuria, bilateral ureteral obstruction, and urinary retention.
  • Diagnostic imaging revealed kidney, bladder, and ureteral stones.
  • Ureteral stent placement was necessary to alleviate the obstruction.

Findings:

  • Chemical analysis identified the stones as composed of felbamate (FBM).
  • Discontinuation of FBM therapy led to the cessation of stone formation.

  • Contributing factors may include high FBM dosage, polypharmacy, and pre-existing stone risk factors.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for felbamate (FBM) to cause urolithiasis.
    • Crystalluria may serve as an early indicator of FBM-induced stone formation.
    • Clinicians should consider FBM urolithiasis in patients presenting with unexplained stones, especially those on FBM therapy.
