Abstract
Although the association between pelvic organ prolapse and obstructive uropathy is well known, it occasionally causes severe acute or chronic renal failure. A 79-year-old woman presented to the emergency department complaining of gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms. Physical examination showed a grade IV uterine prolapse. Additional assessments revealed bilateral hydronephrosis grades III/IV, urinary sepsis and acute renal failure. The diagnosis and reduction of uterine prolapse by a Hodge pessary played a key role in resolving the symptoms caused by obstructive uropathy.
