Introduction: Renal papillary necrosis (RPN) is a multifactorial complication that occurs under the following conditions: Pyelonephritis, obstruction of the urogenital tract, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) abuse, diabetes mellitus (DM2), and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The present report presented a case of right ureteral obstruction due to RPN. Conclusions: It is important to pay enough attention to the disorders related to the urinary system, especially in the elderly with a history of NSAIDs abuse, DM2, hypertension, COVID-19, and renal diseases. Additionally, the underlying diseases, blood glucose, infection, dehydration, and use of NSAIDs must be well-controlled to protect nephro-ureteral structures.
