Kidney Injury due to Ureteral Obstruction Caused by Compression from Infected Simple Hepatic Cyst.
Case Reports in Gastroenterology 2017 May
Simple hepatic cysts are common and most often asymptomatic. In symptomatic cases, hemorrhage, rupture, and infection are major complications. However, urinary tract obstruction caused by a simple hepatic cyst is rare. We treated an 82-year-old Japanese man with an infected giant hepatic cyst causing right hydronephrosis who had a past history of left nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. The patient underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage and sclerotherapy with minocycline hydrochloride for the infected hepatic cyst. Right hydronephrosis was relieved, and renal dysfunction improved with regression of the hepatic cyst after treatment. This is the first report of hydronephrosis due to ureteral obstruction caused by compression from a hepatic cyst.
