Renal replacement lipomatosis (RRL) is an uncommon complication, leading to the fatty replacement of the renal parenchyma. Various etiologies have been described for this long-term infirmity, but obstructive uropathy is one paramount cause. Previously described reports have documented unilateral disease in the majority, but we are narrating a case of bilateral RRL, which is very scarce in the literature. A 57-year-old man, who was a known case of obstructive uropathy, presented to us with the symptoms of urinary tract infection. In imaging evaluation, the patient was found to have bilateral RRL.
肾实质脂肪替代症(RRL)是一种罕见的并发症,会导致肾实质被脂肪替代。对于这种长期疾病,已经描述了多种病因,但梗阻性尿路病是一个主要原因。先前报道的病例大多为单侧病变,但我们在此讲述一例双侧RRL病例,这在文献中非常少见。一名57岁男性,已知患有梗阻性尿路病,因尿路感染症状前来就诊。在影像学评估中,发现该患者患有双侧RRL。
