Proteinaceous renal stones in a kidney transplant candidate presenting as bilateral filling defects suspicious for upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma

Our patient is a 60-year-old female with a past medical history significant for diabetes mellitus type 2, smoking, anal cancer status-post transrectal excision with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD). She had progressive chronic kidney disease for approximately 25 years, ultimately starting HD 3 years prior to this evaluation. She presented to the urology department for evaluation prior to kidney transplantation.
