Surgery was successful with no intraoperative complications. Anuria and subsequent acute kidney injury developed within 12 hours of surgery. A CT of the kidneys, ureters and bladder revealed mild bilateral hydronephrosis and perinephric stranding surrounding the left kidney with no discernible injury to the lower urinary tract. Further investigation did not reveal a clear cause for her anuric state. Management involved aggressive renal support, rigid cystoscopy and bilateral ureteric stenting. Diuresis and a prompt improvement in renal function ensued with no further complications. She was discharged a week after her initial operation, with a 6-week review for stent removal. We believe this to be a rare instance of reflex anuria due to ureteric spasm and encourage consideration of ureteric stenting as part of subsequent management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2018-227522","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,15]],"date-time":"2019-05-15T06:25:23Z","timestamp":1557901523000},"page":"e227522","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Reflex anuria post-prophylactic bilateral ureteric catheterisation: a rare postoperative complication"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4656-7494","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yagazie Zina","family":"Udeaja","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University College London Medical School, University College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Selvi Radhika","family":"Vikram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Watford General Hospital, Watford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082707590037000_12.5.e227522.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1445-2197.2003.02640.x"},{"key":"2025082707590037000_12.5.e227522.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"265","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(17)55891-7","article-title":"Reflex anuria from unilateral ureteral obstruction","volume":"123","author":"Hull","year":"1980","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"key":"2025082707590037000_12.5.e227522.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000339789"},{"key":"2025082707590037000_12.5.e227522.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"323","DOI":"10.1007\/s11255-013-0541-9","article-title":"Reflex anuria: an old concept with new evidence","volume":"46","author":"Hou","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int Urol Nephrol"},{"key":"2025082707590037000_12.5.e227522.5","first-page":"120","article-title":"Reflex anuria affecting both kidneys following hysterectomy","volume":"20","author":"Gholyaf","year":"2009","journal-title":"Saudi J Kidney Dis Transpl"},{"key":"2025082707590037000_12.5.e227522.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23423","DOI":"10.3402\/jchimp.v4.23423","article-title":"Reflex anuria: a rare cause of acute kidney injury","volume":"4","author":"Adediran","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Community Hosp Intern Med Perspect"},{"key":"2025082707590037000_12.5.e227522.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.5812\/kowsar.22517006.2041","article-title":"Acute renal failure as a complication of preoperative ureter catheterization for colorectal surgery","volume":"4","author":"Singh","year":"2011","journal-title":"Nephro-Urology Monthly"},{"key":"2025082707590037000_12.5.e227522.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"106","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2369-14-106","article-title":"Reflex anuria following acute cardiac event","volume":"14","author":"Jeevagan","year":"2013","journal-title":"BMC Nephrol"},{"key":"2025082707590037000_12.5.e227522.9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"294","DOI":"10.1089\/end.2011.0311","article-title":"Reflux anuria after prophylactic ureteral catheter removal: a case description and review of the literature","volume":"26","author":"Bieniek","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Endourol"}],"container-title":["BMJ Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/syndication.highwire.org\/content\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2018-227522","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,27]],"date-time":"2025-08-27T14:59:07Z","timestamp":1756306747000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/casereports.bmj.com\/lookup\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2018-227522"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1136\/bcr-2018-227522"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/bcr-2018-227522","relation":{},"ISSN":["1757-790X"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"1757-790X"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,14]]}}}
