Popis: A man aged 81 with bilateral hydronephrosis presented with lethargy deepening into coma caused by hyperammonaemia. The hyperammonaemia was most likely caused by excessive absorption of ammonia produced by Proteus mirabilis in the obstructed and dilated urinary tract. The patient died within a few hours.
