    A 61-year-old male with a history of inadequate fluid intake, high purine diet, and holding off urination developed uric acid stones in his kidneys due to increased uric acid in his bloodstream and urine stasis. This partially obstructed his right kidney and caused hydronephrosis of his left kidney, resulting in flank pain, hematuria, and tissue damage due to unrelieved pressure buildup.
