Abstract

A 79-year-old male with chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia and extensive bilateral renal stone disease was treated with intravenous rasburicase for persistent hyperuricaemia. Subsequent imaging revealed a complete dissolution of stone burden, avoiding the need for complex, invasive stone surgery and further renal replacement therapy.
