History And Clinical Findings In the following case report, we describe a patient with acute renal failure due to an urinary congestion level II-III under BCG-(Bacillus Calmette-Guérin)-therapy because of bladder cancer. Cystoscopy revealed the diagnosis of BCG-induced intramural narrowing of distal ureters bilaterally.Therapy And Further Development After receiving a double-J-catheter the renal function returned to normal.Conclusions Although postrenal failure is relatively rare (5 %), also seldom causes such as medication-induced (e. g. BCG) ureter stenosis has to be included into the differential diagnosis.Thieme. All rights reserved.
