Case Discussion


30 year male admited through emergency in a severe metabolic acidosis state and drowsy.
He had outside s.creatine of 15mg/dl, and xray showing homogenous opacity involving right
Apex of lung. There was recent history of taking ATT, which he soon gave up after using few
Days as he became more nauseated and had vomiting too. There was an aditional history of
Difficulty in passing urine since many years, and also required once catheterization suprapubically.
We got him inserted Double lumen cather and dialysed , later on Ultrasound kidneys and bladder
Showed markly dillated PC system leaving no cortex bilatteraly and thick wall , mild trabeculated
Bladder.
We concluded that he would be having stricture urethra by his tory which was substaciated with
The fact  when he was tried to pass cather but failed to proceed and subsequently suprabubic cathe
Erization done as he was in retention of urine.
Regarding his homogenous opacity in lung we would work him up for tuberculosis by Blood CP, ESR
Mauntox test, Sputum AFB or moring gastric lavage for AFB or BAL. Urine Dr and C/s.
