A 53-year-old man presented with a 3-week history of right loin pain which became severe over 2 days. His medical history included two myocardial infarctions, for which he was prescribed a variety of cardiac medications; as he was intolerant of aspirin these included clopidogrel 75 mg once daily. IVU showed a right ureteric stone. During ureteroscopy a stone was apparent, although attempts at fragmentation and stone removal were unsuccessful; the stone was pushed back to the kidney and a JJ stent left in situ . After ureteroscopy the patient was discharged home with an appointment for ESWL. On discharge the patient’s haemoglobin was 148 g/L. The patient attended the day unit for ESWL 16 days later, which proceeded uneventfully; 2 h after completing the treatment the patient became unwell, complaining of pain in the right loin, and was clinically shocked with a BP of 90/ 50 mmHg. The patient was admitted and treated supportively. The following morning the patient had a haemoglobin level of 81 g/L with normal clotting (international normalized ratio 1.1, activated partial thromboplastin time 30.6). CT showed an extensive localized perinephric haematoma (Fig. 1). The patient was transfused with 4 units of blood and discharged home 6 days later; he is still awaiting completion of treatment for his stone.
