Renal replacement lipomatosis (RRL), as described by the word, is characterized by abnormal proliferation of the fatty tissue and replacement of renal parenchyma by fat with atrophy of renal parenchyma. This rare condition is mainly attributed to a long-standing disease such as lithiasis. The patient usually presents with non-specific abdominal pain of chronic duration, and imaging is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Here, we present the case of total RRL presented at our center, diagnosed with ultrasonography, and computerized tomography of kidneys, along with contributing factors and its course of treatment.
肾替代脂肪增多症(RRL),顾名思义,其特征是脂肪组织异常增生,肾实质被脂肪替代,同时肾实质萎缩。这种罕见病症主要归因于诸如结石症等长期疾病。患者通常表现为慢性持续性非特异性腹痛,需要影像学检查来确诊。在此,我们报告在我们中心出现的一例完全性RRL病例,通过肾脏超声检查和计算机断层扫描确诊,同时介绍相关影响因素及其治疗过程。
