AZPEITIA-HERNANDEZ, FJ et al. Unexpected kidney finding in a patient with anemia and weight loss. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2022, vol.78, n.4, pp.279-280.  Epub June 26, 2023. ISSN 1887-8571.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1887-857120220004000013.

57-year-old woman with autism spectrum disorder and secondary epileptic seizures. A CT of abdomen is requested due to anemia and weight loss. The patient did not refer urinary symptoms. She was admitted four months to Internal Medicine Service, due to urinary sepsis, where Morganela morgani was isolated, and bacteremia, with Staphylococcus epidermidis isolation.

In the CT performed, we found an increase in the size of the right kidney, with loss of corticomedullary differentiation and replacement of a destroyed renal parenchyma by low-attenuation masses that corresponds to the dilated calyces. A staghorn stone with involvement of the peripelvic fat was also described.
