Abstract

A patient with loin pain haematuria syndrome suffering chronic throbbing pulsing pain
overlaid with prolonged periods of incapacitating colic and overnight vomiting was
presented 10 months following diagnosis. Ultrasound was normal. No renal or ureteral
stones, or filling defects were seen on CT. At cytoscopy, bladder and urethra were normal,
and bloody urine effluxed from the left ureteric orifice. The ureters were normal at
diagnosis, and developed new abutting non‐penetrating calcifications by 8 months. Pain
episodes of complete incapacitating intensity of 2–4 h duration were reduced to 10 min
with 5 mg crushed tadalafil administered at onset. If tadalafil was delayed to after onset, the
original course of agony resulted. Daily tadalafil reduced loin pain intensity, but not the
exacerbations. Tadalafil efficacy may indicate that the pain exacerbations are due to spasm
of ureter smooth muscle. 5 mg tadalafil taken at onset alleviated severe loin pain
exacerbations in this case of loin pain haematuria syndrome.
