We describe a patient with septic shock that was spontaneously complicated by calyceal diverticular calculus. The patient recovered from shock with in a few days with treatment by extracorporeal elimination of endotoxin using a blood purification cartridge consisting of polymyxin B immobilized fiber. Standard open nephrolithotomy was performed, and the patient was discharged from the hospital 2 months after admission.
