Abstract
- A 56-year-old woman with emphysematous pyelonephritis underwent an emergent left nephrectomy due to her religious creed. Postoperative hemoglobin level was decreased to 4.4 g/dL from preoperative value of 13.9 g/dL. The patient completely recovered without transfusion and was discharged on the 40th postoperative day without complication.
