A case of isolated autoimmune ureteritis in a 25-year-old male
This case demonstrates the diagnostic complexity of isolated autoimmune ureteritis, highlighting the value of excluding the common differentials.It highlights the limitations of diagnostic tools in ureteric disease, reinforcing the role of clinical judgement and treatment trials when histology is inconclusive.It illustrates the role of immunosuppressive therapy in rare inflammatory conditions, not only as an effective treatment but also as a diagnostic tool.
