Encrusted uropathy is a rare condition in which infection by ureas germs, most commonly Corynebacterium urealyticum, can lead to urinary tract calcification. Moreover, it usually occurs in immunocompromised patients, especially in renal transplants patients or patients with a history of previous urological procedures. The diagnosis is made easy thanks to the contribution of imagery, combined with the measurement of urinary pH and the isolation of the responsible germ. We describe the case of a 62 year old male patient with an alkaline encrusted uropathy in native kidneys associated with cutanous lesions and complicated with a renal failure and vein thrombosis.
