A 46-year-old woman was diagnosed with ureteral stone and received ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy. Then, she suffered from right ureteral stricture causing acute pyelonephritis and sepsis. During hospitalization, antibiotics were prescribed to control infection and double J catheter was placed. Unfortunately due to double-J catheter dislodgement, acute pyelonephritis occurred again. She received antibiotics treatment and the double-J catheter was removed. At the same time, right hydronephrosis was still existed by renal ultrasound examination.
Partial urinary tract obstruction often leads to subsequent urinary tract infection and hydronephrosis, causing kidney damage and end stage renal disease. The degree of injury depends on the severity and duration of the obstruction. Double-Jcatheter was often placed for relieving the ureteral obstruction and preventing
kidney damage.
This time, the Double-J catheter was removed for the patient due to the dislodgement of the catheter. Chinese herbs were prescribed to benefit kidney qi, regulate qi, dissipate blood stasis, disperse the damp and heat for the patient. When the qi of the kidney is filled, the gasification is powerful, the damp is clear and hydronephrosis will relieve. It is a successful case of hydronephrosis treated with traditional Chinese medicine.
