Abstract

Urinary system obstruction is one of the risk factors that can play role in the etiology of urinary tract infections, hypertension and acute or chronic renal failure which can cause serious morbidity and mortality rates. Renal insufficiency is an important public health problem in the world and in our country. Renal atrophy which is a result of urolithiasis related urinary obstruction that can play a role in the etiology of renal insufficiency is discussed in this case-report. By this case, we wanted to draw attention to the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in primary care.

Özet

Üriner sistem obstrüksiyonu; ciddi boyutta morbidite ve mortalite oranlarına sebep olabilen üriner sistem enfeksiyonu, hipertansiyon ve akut ya da kronik böbrek yetersizliği etyolojisinde rol oynayabilecek risk faktörlerinden biridir. Böbrek yetersizlikleri ise dünyada ve ülkemizde önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Böbrek yetersizlikleri etyolojisinde rol oynayabilen ürolitiazis ilişkili üriner obstrüksiyon sonucunda gelişen renal atrofi olgumuzla birinci basamakta erken tanı ve tedavinin önemine dikkat çekmek istedik.
