Alkaline-encrusting pyelitis – A rare disastrous complication postPCNL leading to chronic renal failure

Alkaline-encrusting pyelitis (AEP) is a severe form of infectious disease characterized by encrustation along the lining of the urinary tract leading to loss of renal function. Common predisposing factors are chronic infection, immunosuppression, and endourology procedures. Urea-producing organisms...
