A non-contrast CT scan was taken which was suggestive of urinary schistosomiasis. The diagnosis was confirmed on obtaining biopsies from the bladder. Due to bilateral hydronephrosis, an attempt at bilateral renal decompression was made. This failed to improve renal function. He eventually underwent a right nephrectomy. He is in end-stage renal failure, undergoing long-term dialysis, and has been placed on the waiting list for renal transplant. ER -
