We report a case of ammonium acid urate urinary stone. A 32-year-old woman with no past medical history presented with right back pain. The kidney-ureter-bladder X-ray and computed tomography revealed right ureteral and bilateral renal stones. The right ureteral stone was excreted spontaneously without treatment. The left renal stone was too large to be excreted and required extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The analysis of the excreted stone revealed that it consisted of pure ammonium acid urate. Flakes of the left renal stone by ESWL were impacted in the left lower ureter and also rapidly grew in the left kidney. The right renal stone grew rapidly and right hydronephrosis developed due to the newly-formed right ureteral stone. As post-renal acute renal failure developed subsequently, ureteral stents were placed bilaterally. We finally treated the bilateral ureteral stone with transurethral ureterolithotripsy, the right renal stone with ESWL and the left renal stone with percutaneous nephrolithotripsy. During the course, dietary instruction was intervened for hyperuricemia. Although there were a few stones left after ESWL, they were halfway excreted without rapid growth of stones.

D008096 Lithotripsy The destruction of a calculus of the kidney, ureter, bladder, or gallbladder by physical forces, including crushing with a lithotriptor through a catheter. Focused percutaneous ultrasound and focused hydraulic shock waves may be used without surgery. Lithotripsy does not include the dissolving of stones by acids or litholysis. Lithotripsy by laser is LITHOTRIPSY, LASER.

D006869 Hydronephrosis Abnormal enlargement or swelling of a KIDNEY due to dilation of the KIDNEY CALICES and the KIDNEY PELVIS. It is often associated with obstruction of the URETER or chronic kidney diseases that prevents normal drainage of urine into the URINARY BLADDER. Hydronephroses
D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D014514 Ureteral Calculi Stones in the URETER that are formed in the KIDNEY. They are rarely more than 5 mm in diameter for larger renal stones cannot enter ureters. They are often lodged at the ureteral narrowing and can cause excruciating renal colic. Ureteral Calculus,Calculi, Ureteral,Calculus, Ureteral
D014527 Uric Acid An oxidation product, via XANTHINE OXIDASE, of oxypurines such as XANTHINE and HYPOXANTHINE. It is the final oxidation product of purine catabolism in humans and primates, whereas in most other mammals URATE OXIDASE further oxidizes it to ALLANTOIN. 2,6,8-Trihydroxypurine,Ammonium Acid Urate,Monosodium Urate,Monosodium Urate Monohydrate,Potassium Urate,Sodium Acid Urate,Sodium Acid Urate Monohydrate,Sodium Urate,Sodium Urate Monohydrate,Trioxopurine,Urate,Acid Urate, Ammonium,Acid Urate, Sodium,Acid, Uric,Monohydrate, Monosodium Urate,Monohydrate, Sodium Urate,Urate Monohydrate, Monosodium,Urate Monohydrate, Sodium,Urate, Ammonium Acid,Urate, Monosodium,Urate, Potassium,Urate, Sodium,Urate, Sodium Acid
