Urological Department K, Aarhus Municipal Hospital, Denmark.

We report a case of post-renal insufficiency in the 26th week of a normal pregnancy; the cause being bilateral ureteral obstruction by the pregnant uterus. By placing double-J-catheters in both ureters the patient was able to continue pregnancy to term. The catheters were removed 1 week postpartum.
