A clinical observation of renal tuberculosis, complicated by total ureteral obliteration, in a comorbid patient is presented. He underwent planned bowel substitution of the right ureter. In the postoperative period, pyelonephritis developed, which was resolved by drug therapy.
In this case, there is the correct tactics of outpatient urologists. When hydronephrosis was diagnosed, a nephrostomy tube was put, which allowed to preserve the kidney, Then the patient was immediately referred to a phthisiatrician to exclude urogenital tuberculosis.
