CT scan revealed the existence of a complete staghorn calculus in her right kidney, while there was no kidney stone 3Â years before, and the urinary stone component analysis showed the composition of calculus was magnesium ammonium phosphate. This 37-year-old autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease female with positive family history was admitted in this hospital for repeatedly upper urinary tract infection for 3Â years. Case presentation We report a case of complete staghorm calculus in a polycystic kidney disease patient induced by repeatedly urinary tract infections. For general population, recent data showed metabolic factors were the dominant causes for staghorn calculus, but for polycystic kidney disease patients, the cause for staghorn calculus remained elusive. However, complete staghorn calculus is rare in polycystic kidney disease and predicts a gloomy prognosis of kidney. As staghorn calculi are associated with kidney fibrosis and high long-term renal deterioration rate, prompt control of urinary tract infection in polycystic kidney disease patient will be beneficial in preventing staghorn calculus formation.Ĭomplete staghorn calculus in polycystic kidney disease: infection is still the causeīackground Kidney stones in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease are common, regarded as the consequence of the combination of anatomic abnormality and metabolic risk factors.
