uterine prolapse/creatinine

BACKGROUND Even though it is uncommon, uterine prolapse can cause compression of ureters and bilateral hydronephrosis, predisposing to arterial hypertension and renal failure. Hydronephrosis consequent to cystocele and to vaginal prolapse is even rarer. METHODS This paper reports on a 59 year-old

We report a case of complete uterine prolapse with bilateral hydroureter. The patient was a 81-year-old woman with complete uterine prolapse suffering from dysuria and urinary incontinence. Bilateral moderate hydroureter happened to be revealed by drip infusion pyelography (DIP) but blood creatinine

A 64-year-old woman had been diagnosed with uterine prolapse (UP), with a postvoid residual urine volume 4 years previously. In addition, she had had moderate renal dysfunction diagnosed 2 years before presentation. Her serum creatinine was 10.1 mg/dL, and she underwent right double-J stenting and

A 74-year-old woman was admitted to our emergency room complaining of general weakness and anorexia that started 20 days earlier. She denied other underlying diseases that might have provoked chronic renal disease. Her serum creatinine was 12.35 mg/dL. A pelvic examination and computed tomography

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of hydronephrosis in patients undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse and to determine whether hydronephrosis is associated with the type and severity of prolapse. METHODS The charts of 375 consecutive patients undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse

BACKGROUND Pelvic organ prolapse is a multidimensional phenomenon. The manifestations of renal involvement following pelvic organ prolapse ranges from acute to chronic renal failure and may also lead to end stage renal failure. Prolonged duration and its severity in pelvic organ prolapse are

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of hydronephrosis in patients with genital prolapse and evaluate contributing factors. METHODS Retrospective study of the records of 189 patients with pelvic organ prolapse who underwent preoperative renal imaging studies. RESULTS Of the 189 patients 31 (17.4%)
