Abstract
We report a case of large bilateral perirenal and intrarenal hematoma formation leading to prolonged anuria in the absence of obstruction fo llowing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. With conservative manag ement, including the need for hemodialysis support, renal function gra dually returned. A mechanism for this patient's anuric renal failure i s postulated and caution is advised when considering simultaneous bila teral extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in patients with a potenti al risk of bleeding.
