Urinary tract obstruction and renal failure due to uterine prolapse. 1978

S Moore, and R R Bailey, and T M Maling, and P J Little

Three women are described in whom obstructive uropathy was found secondary to uterine prolapse. Two of these patients had severe renal failure. It is important to exclude this condition in any woman presenting with renal functional impairment. Potentially damaging urinary tract obstruction should be considered in every patient with a uterine prolapse.
