Abstract

Bilateral spontaneous steinstrasse from the ureteropelvic junction to the distal ureter complicating distal renal tubular acidosis has not been described. We report a case and discuss the clinical presentation, radiographic and metabolic findings, and treatment. Relief of obstructive uropathy with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy led to the resolution of the heavy steinstrasse burden.
