“Uroptysis!” – A case report of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis with nephrobronchial fistulation.
Abstract
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is an uncommon complication of chronic urinary tract infection, classically secondary to a chronic obstructive uropathy, resulting in destruction of renal parenchyma and a non-functioning kidney (Jha and Aeddula, 2022 [1]). This is rarely associated with nephrobronchial fistulation, with few published case reports in the literature to date.
