Abstract
Total uterine prolapse may lead to severe obstructive nephropathy. We report a case of a 77 years old woman who presented with complete uterovaginal prolapse, bilateral hydronephrosis, arterial hypertension and renal failure. A complete correction of her renal failure was observed after the surgical repair of the prolapse (vaginal hysterectomy followed by anterior and posterior colporrhaphy).
Keywords: uterine prolapse, renal failure, hydronephrosis, incontinence, urine retention, vaginal hysterectomy
