Spontaneous forniceal rupture is one of the possible complications of urolithiasis. The mechanism of forniceal rupture is not well explained in the literature. Most of the cases presented with sudden onset of acute renal colic and diagnosed by noncontrast CT (NCCT). Until now there is no solid consensus about the ideal management of such a condition.

Endourologic interventions for urolithiasis in patients with anomalous kidneys can be challenging, and comparisons between these interventions are not well studied. We aim to compare the safety, outcomes and complications of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) versus percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in patients with urolithiasis in anomalous kidneys.

Calcineurin inhibitors are the cornerstone of immunosuppression following solid-organ transplant. However, hyperkalemia may occur by multiple mechanisms affecting potassium in the distal tubule. Hyperkalemia is commonly observed in renal transplant recipients, and it is dose-dependent. Here, we evaluated the impact of fludrocortisone in the management of calcineurin inhibitor-induced hyperkalemia after renal transplant.
