title: Obstructive uropathy as the etiology of renal failure in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To make people aware that there is potential for obstructive uropathy to complicate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and cause renal impairment.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 28-year-old Caucasian female presenting with acute severe OHSS.
  
  
  METHODS
  Bilateral JJ stenting.
  
  
  METHODS
  Resolution of renal impairment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Successful treatment of renal failure.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  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.
