Procidentia and ureteric obstruction.

P R Riddle, H H Shawdon, B Clay

    British Journal of Urology
    |August 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pelvic organ prolapse, specifically uterine procidentia, can cause emergency renal failure. However, asymptomatic cases of procidentia rarely show upper urinary tract dilation.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Nephrology
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Pelvic organ prolapse, particularly uterine procidentia, is a condition where the uterus descends into the vaginal canal.
    • Renal failure is a serious complication that can arise from various medical conditions.
    • The relationship between asymptomatic uterine procidentia and upper urinary tract changes requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe cases of renal failure associated with uterine procidentia presenting as medical emergencies.
    • To investigate the prevalence of upper urinary tract dilation in asymptomatic patients with uterine procidentia.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report analysis of three patients with renal failure and uterine procidentia.
    • Urological evaluation, including imaging, of four asymptomatic patients with uterine procidentia.

    Main Results:

    • Three patients presented with emergency renal failure directly linked to uterine procidentia.
    • Upper urinary tract dilation was identified in only one out of four asymptomatic patients with uterine procidentia.

    Conclusions:

    • Uterine procidentia can lead to acute renal failure, necessitating emergency intervention.
    • Asymptomatic uterine procidentia appears to have a low risk of causing significant upper urinary tract dilation.
