Sepsis due to pyonephrosis: an adult with pelvic-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) in a duplex kidney.

Francesco Simoni1, Nicola Vitturi1.   

Abstract

We present the case of a 75-year-old woman with sepsis. She was evaluated with bedside ultrasound with a diagnosis of pyonephrosis, and subsequently underwent a TC scan that showed a pelvic-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) in a duplicated renal system. PUJO associated with duplex kidney, while relatively frequent in children, is a rare condition in adults, and may lead to severe complications as in this case.
