Abstract
Nephrectomy is common surgery in day-to-day practice of urology. We present a case series of younger patients who underwent nephrectomy between 2014 to Aug’2016 and recorded their details including age, sex, clinical findings, investigations, history regarding the diet, lifestyle and biochemical analysis of calculus. We conclude that in younger age group obstructive nephropathy was the main cause of nephrectomy which resulted in to chronic pyelonephritis.
