Abstract
A case of bilateral urinary tract tuberculosis presenting with acute renal failure is reported. It is believed to be the first reported instance of the disease presenting in this form. The patient was managed with preliminary high diversion followed by bilateral replacement of the ureters with ileal loops that were anastomosed end-to-side and then implanted into the bladder.
