Abstract:
A 69-year-old female was admitted to hospital with the complaint of high-grade fever and clouding of consciousness. Physical examination and laboratory data revealed septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ failure. Ultrasonography demonstrated left hydronephrosis and a cystic mass in peri-renal fatty tissue. KUB showed a left ureteral stone. A diagnosis of septic shock due to pyonephrosis-calculosa and peri-renal abscess was considered. A left nephrectomy, endotoxin removal therapy and continuous hemodiafiltration was performed. Thereafter all morbidities improved. A nephrectomy and intensive treatment are the good alternative method for such a case.
