Changes in concentrations of total thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) in blood plasma, blood coagulation and prothrombin index (PI) 9 days after exposure to extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) were studied in patients with urolithiasis. Urolithiasis patients with chronic pyelonephritis running with non-severe renal pain had often elevated concentrations of T3, T4 and blood coagulation. On day 9 after ESWL plasma concentration of T3 and coagulation decreased while T4 concentration and PI rose. The analysis of 4-year follow-up after ESWL demonstrates that high levels of T4 and PI on day 9 after ESWL may contribute to development of recurrent urolithiasis.

Acquired factor VII (FVII) deficiency in the absence of vitamin K deficiency, oral, synthetic liver dysfunction, or DIC is rare, with only a handful of cases published in literature. Congenital deficiency of FVII is well known but, little is known about secondary FVII deficiency and its management. The knowledge of this syndrome should avoid false diagnosis of congenital factor VII deficiency. Here, we present the report of a young woman who presented with pyelonephritis, anaemia, prolonged prothrombin time and normal activated partial prothrombin time (aPTT). She was diagnosed to have acquired FVII deficiency and this was the first such case with pyelonephritis.
