Hypothesis
Can ureteral stenting effectively treat sintilimab-induced ureteritis/cystitis without corticosteroids?
Conclusion
Ureteral stenting can effectively relieve symptoms of sintilimab-induced ureteritis/cystitis without the use of corticosteroids.
Supporting Evidence
- Ureteral stenting resolved the patient's severe renal colic immediately.
- The patient had significant tumor regression post-surgery.
- Previous treatments with antibiotics and NSAIDs were ineffective.
Takeaway
A patient with severe kidney pain from a cancer treatment had a special tube put in to help drain urine, which made him feel better without using strong medicines.
Methodology
The patient was treated with ureteral stenting after failing to respond to other medications.
Limitations
The findings are based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
Participant Demographics
55-year-old male with gastric cancer.
