title: [Diagnostic image (80). A men with thirst and polyuria. Bladder retention].
abstract: A 69-year-old man was admitted because of polyuria and renal insufficiency. At physical examination a huge bladder retention was found (31). The polyuria was explained by the decreased concentrating ability of the kidney due to impaired tubular function; this was caused by hydronephrosis due to prostate hypertrophy.
