Especially, when both ureters are compressed, hydronephrosis resulted in uremia are developed progressively, and it may be treated by urinary diversion. We report a case of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis that treated by bilateral pyelo-ileo-neocystostomy and postoperative metabolic derangement that managed successfully with brief review of literature.
