title: Bilateral obstructing renal stones: an uncommon cause of acute renal failure.
abstract: Bilateral renal calculi are an uncommon cause of acute renal failure (ARF). The causes of ARF include prerenal, obstructive (or postrenal), and intrinsic [1,2]. Postrenal causes account for 5% to 15% of cases of ARF [3]. This case report will present a case of acute renal failure secondary to bilateral obstructing ureteral calculi.
