Popis: Objective To make people aware that there is potential for obstructive uropathy to complicate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and cause renal impairment. Design Case report. Setting Hospital. Patient(s) A 28-year-old Caucasian female presenting with acute severe OHSS. Intervention(s) Bilateral JJ stenting. Main Outcome Measure(s) Resolution of renal impairment. Result(s) Successful treatment of renal failure. Conclusion(s) Patients with severe OHSS and renal impairment should be evaluated with renal ultrasound to rule out hydronephrosis and therefore an obstructive uropathy. Patients potentially at risk for such a complication from OHSS may include those with prior abdominal or pelvic surgery.
