[Bilateral nephrectomy as a life saving procedure in a young woman with recurrent bacteremic shock].
On the basis of the recurrent bacteremic shock in young woman with bilateral reflux nephropathy and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) from early childhood we present diagnostic and therapeutic problems of complicated UTI. Negative results of localization diagnosis of UTI and clinical suspicious on renal microabscesses as a cause of recurrence bacteremic shock were the reason of bilateral nephrectomy--as a life saving procedure--and initiation of CAPD programme.
