- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a woman with a history of renal colic and recurrent urinary tract infections. The patient had tenderness at her left costophrenic angle, a pyuria on a routine urinalysis, leukocytosis and acute renal failure. A computed tomography of the patient's abdomen that showed a nonfunctioning left kidney and radiographic findings compatible with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is discussed.
